Moldova: Pasha and five girls take the stage
Baku, May 14 (AZERTAC). Pasha Parfeny will represent Moldova this year with Lăutar, a cheerful song about the love between a traditional musician and a high-society girl. Todayç he rehearsed for the first time in the Baku Crystal Hall, and together with his five backing dancers, he showed an energetic performance and colorful stage act.
While preparing for his performance backstage, Pasha Parfeny shared his thoughts and expectations with Eurovision.tv. "We just had our first microphone rehearsal, and this morning we rehearsed the choreography together with our Ukrainian dancers from the ballet group Lyubovniki ("Lovers")", Pasha Parfeny explained.
When we asked Pasha if his stage performance would feature a trumpet as well, as it's mentioned in the lyrics of Lăutar, he replied: "No, I won't have a trumpet on stage. There will be several beautiful girls, though."
He also explained the story behind his song: "It's about a Lăutar, a traditional Moldovan musician, who falls in love with a high-society girl. He thinks he will win her heart with his trumpet, but she lies!"
The Moldovan stage act included a truly elaborate dance performance, involving five female artists. Their energetic moves added to the cheerful atmosphere of the song: They were crawling around of the floor, climbing on each others legs, and performing a line dance together with Pasha Parfeny!
But in fact, the Moldovan act even features a sixth female dancer - even though it's only a white silhouette pictured on the LED screens in the stage background. Apart from that, a trumpet - fitting the song lyrics - as well as chequerboard patterns was shown on the LEDs. The main color of the light scene was red.
Pasha himself delivered a flawless and vocally strong performance, and he was working very well with the cameras.
Pasha Parfeny’s real name is Pavel Parfeny. The artist has a big musical experience behind him. He participated in different national and international festivals where he almost always took first place. In his country, he is known as Pasha Parfeny or simply Pasha.
