Voice from the Window of Not Moscow: The first 21st-century Tatar-language vinyl record was released by the rock band Gauga.

The record includes the band's fifth album - Alice, which was released in 2024. These are ten songs dedicated to those who have left this world forever.

"The musicians lift the curtain, revealing stories steeped in emotion, the pain of loss, and farewell. But despite the somber tone, not a single song lacks the most important thing: love," says the Tatar label Yummy Music about "Alisa."

The funds for the vinyl release were raised through crowdfunding: instead of the planned 250 rubles, they raised over 319. The musicians are confident that contemporary Tatar lyrics deserve to exist not only online but also on music lovers' shelves. Incidentally, you can purchase a copy of the "Alisa" vinyl release by posting on the band's VK page.
