Zoloto in Almaty

ZOLOTO is the project of Vladimir Zolotukhin - songwriter, frontman, and multi-instrumentalist. He performs elegant pop in the classic Soviet "VIA" style, mixing nostalgic sounds with deep lyrics and bold references to cult artists like Gubin and Zemfira. In today’s fast-paced pop culture, ZOLOTO stands out for its thoughtful, almost cinematic feel.

Vladimir has released four albums, each reflecting a different stage of his creative journey - from the indie-pop tone of “Ne Perezhivay” to the warm, guitar-driven sound of “Perevoplotitsya.” Speaking about the latest album, he says: “In this work, I’ve returned to myself - to the sound that has always felt close and where it all began.” On stage, Zolotukhin is joined by a skilled live band: German Tigai on bass, Daniil Morozov on drums, and Igor Gribov on guitar and keys.
