Kazakh-Scottish Music
A nice piece appeared in the Edinburgh News about a Kazakh lead singer in a Scottish band.
Gulzhan Ibrayeva who was the lead singer for the apparently popular Kazakh cover-band Kinky Durakee (Query to readers: Is this band famous? I’ve never heard of it). Now that Gulzhan has moved to Scotland with her husband Paul Finnie, the band has changed its name to Universal You and is hitting the top hot spots in Edinburgh.
The band started two years ago when Finnie came to Atsai as a contract administrator for British Gas and Ibrayeva was working as a translator. They got married and started Kinky Durakee. They have picked up a bass player and a guitarist and hope to become Edinburgh’s next local sensation.
Check out the Universal You website to hear their music or even buy the MP3s.
