Crows Pick Your Crop Giuzeppe" Music Band

"Crows Pick Your Crop Giuzeppe" is a Soviet and Ukrainian park-rock band from Luhansk, who began their work in the late 1980s. Their frontman - Igor Ortsev was a member of the Luhansk city council of the Communist Party of Ukraine. The band is the winner of the competition for a new anthem of Ukraine, which was organized by the Communist Party - a new text was written by Ortsev in a music of the USSR anthem. One of their most famous songs - "Hup" is a parody of the UNA-UNSO anthem. At the beginning of their career the band was "associated with freedom and anticommunism. [...] Why did Ihor Ortsev find happiness in making pro-communistic anthem? It is a mystery to many of his supporters, who knew the musician twenty years ago"- says Anton Dobryuha for Nedelya.net.ua publication (nedelya.net.ua/gazeta/sudba- cheloveka / poet-dlya-gimna-prosto-blin-chuvak). "Crows Pick Your Crop Giuzeppe" is a radio slogan of Cuban guerrillas under command of Ernesto "Che" Guevara, Fidel and Raul Castro. [...] It conquered us with its …madness or something. And poetic ambiguity. This is understandable - "Che" was a great connoisseur of elegant words. Soon when we met on the street, we have used this phrase instead of "hello". And a week before our first performance the question arose – what band name will introduce our hastily made team, nothing else came to our minds [...] We desperately believe in the inevitability of the communist future of mankind and we are willing to fight for it. This is not a joke. Just listen to our music to understand this" (from an interview in" XXI CENTURY " newspaper № 47, 2009).
