Zulya and Children of the Underground 3 Nights (Westpark) With roots in Russia and a Tartar family heritage, Australian singer and writer Zulya Kamalova is a globe-spanning artist, with a singular viewpoint and a musical style all her own. This is her fourth recording, and her first to include songs in English as well as Russian and tartar. With a solid band that is equally taleneted and capable of realizing her vision, Zulya's 2007 recording is a winner.

With songs sung in three languages – English, Russian, and Zulya’s native tongue, Tatar – 3 Nights showcases Zulya and the Children at the Underground at their most magnificent: exquisite musicianship, superb songwriting and intricate arrangements, to say nothing of Zulya’s sublime voice. Most excitingly and for the very first time, after residing fifteen years in Australia, on 3 Nights Zulya sings her own songs in English. For listeners and fans familiar with Zulya’s music who until now have enjoyed her songs in Russian and Tatar – the communication of its meaning and emotion going beyond language – this prospect is very exciting. Zulya and the Children of the Underground released their 1st (and Zulya’s 4th) album, The Waltz of Emptiness (and Other Songs on Russian Themes ) in March 2005. Since then, the album has received amazing coverage in major press around the world, including a glowing 4.5 star review from German Rolling Stone. Songlines (UK) described it as ‘Antipodean brilliance’ and awarded it 4 stars. The album spent 4 months in the top 20 of the European World Music Charts after its release in Europe in March 2005 and even entered the top 10 (July, ‘05), which brought this album to the position 23 out of 1051 submitted to the panel over the whole year – a feat never achieved by any other Australian album! 3 Nights is set to follow up on the successes of The Waltz with thirteen beautiful new songs. Originally from Tatarstan in central Russia, Zulya is familiar to audiences throughout Australia as a performer and interpreter of traditional and original music derived from her Tatar and Russian cultural roots. Zulya and the Children of the Underground create a unique sound derived from the combination of the melancholy, beauty and drama of Zulya’s distinct ive song-writing with the extraordinary musicianship of her Australian band members (Anthony Schulz – accordion, Lucas Michailidis – guitar, Andrew Tanner – double bass, Justin Marshall – drums, percussion).
