NTV channel started filming the second season of the show “Country of Talents”

Filming of the second season of the original NTV entertainment show “Country of Talents” has started, where gifted people from all over Russia will demonstrate their incredible skills to the whole country.

The project will have 8 qualifying rounds and a final. In total, 80 participants will fight for the title of winner, including vocalists, musicians and dancers, as well as creative teams of all ages involved in folk art.

In each edition, the jury members will choose their candidate to win. Thus, if the jury unanimously voted for one participant, he automatically becomes the winner of the issue. In the event that opinions are divided and there are several contenders for victory, then the audience in the hall determines the favorite by voting.

In the new season, the team of star judges of the project included Nadezhda Babkina, People’s Artist of Russia, artistic director-director of the Russian Song Theater, host of the Let’s Go, Let’s Eat! on NTV Federico Arnaldi, Honored Artist of Russia Yegor Druzhinin and Russian pop singer Yaroslav Sumishevsky.

Nadezhda Babkina: “I expect even more interesting participants from the new season than in the previous one. I would like to see people who are able to demonstrate the beauty of the traditions of their region to the whole country, to acquaint the audience with their customs and rituals, their sacraments. In general, each participant is already a winner in my eyes, because we know so little about these people and think: well, what is there interesting in these regions? And the people living in the localities come to Moscow and vividly demonstrate the opposite – we are few, but we are. Therefore, I have very high hopes for the new season of the show “Country of Talents”. Largely thanks to him, the people finally realized that the genetic baggage collected over many centuries exists in the modern world and is, among other things, the basis of the state.”

Egor Druzhinin: “Country of Talents” is an interesting television project. The most valuable thing about it is that it is primarily an educational project, although it pretends to be a competition. In fact, the performance of any participant is a great gift to the audience, and choosing the best among these gifts is a pure formality. The main thing is that the participants themselves seem to understand this very well, therefore, I did not see any tears of disappointment or annoyance that they did not qualify for the final in the first issue. The performance level of the participants is high, the geography of the contestants is extensive, the interest of the jury is maximum. I can’t wait for the next release.”

Yaroslav Sumishevsky: “It was the first time that I had the honor of representing the jury in such a large-scale project. Of course, I was a little worried, however, as soon as the performances of the bands began, the excitement immediately passed, and I completely immersed myself in the atmosphere of folk talents. I am very grateful for the opportunity and I look forward to the premiere on the air.”

The project will again be hosted by actor, director and musician Alexei Vorobyov.

Aleksey Vorobyov: “Land of Talents” is a really important project, because today we live in the space of a rapidly changing modern culture, when even the most talented works appear, but quickly disappear. The musical fashion is changing, and our musical tastes follow it. But there is something that remains unchanged, because it is sewn into the DNA of each of us, regardless of which generation he belongs to. And this is our culture – songs, folk music and dances that have become part of our genetic code. From last season, I learned a very important experience for myself that with my style of conducting and my constant “connection” to dances, tricks, and everything that happens on stage, it would be better for me to go out in sportswear, as tuxedos and suits , and especially trousers, do not always withstand our amazing, unique and creative improvisations, and simply burst at the seams.
