As Natalia Meshcheryakova, the soloist of the ensemble, told PenzaNews agency, the program includes songs of several musical genres.

“This comes from the concert name. There are many of us, we all are unique and love all kinds of music. We’d like to show this during the concert, so the program includes several performances with guest stars. For example, we’ll have ‘Kazachya zastava’ ensemble, breakdancers, a percussionist of Yuri Belonogov’s pop-jazz ensemble, and the duet ‘Po barabanu.’ There will be a separate section presented by our new member Alexandra Lapshova, who, we believe, added a special flavor to our ensemble. She will perform pop music. One of her songs will feature background performance by show-ballet ‘L’Etoile.’ In addition, during the concert, we will rap and perform a beatbox romance song,” the actress explained.

She added that the guests will also have a chance to see the former ensemble member Mariam Petrosyan, who will sing in Armenian.

In addition, according to Natalia Meshcheryakova, the program “We are diverse!” has a folklore section, during which two songs of Tarkhan peasants will be performed.

“We decided not to change the arrangement of one of them, and kept it exactly as performed by the villagers in the times of Mikhail Lermontov’s childhood. They often gathered in the tearoom and sang their songs to the accordion for their barin [nobleman household owner]. Another composition is very vivid, so we decided to perform it to modern music. We will try to bring it to the audience with style,” the soloist said.
