The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, called the joint song with rapper Ptah (real name David Nuriev. – Ed.) a challenge.
The diplomat announced the release of the song “White Flock,” written based on her poems, on November 30. As Zakharova noted, the creative collaboration was unexpected but organic for her.
According to the diplomat, the rapper proposed releasing a song together about a year ago.
“Then in January or February, he wrote that he had a desire to communicate. I said that there was a poem, if he was interested, he could present it with music,” the radio station quoted Zakharova as saying KP.
She explained that at first she didn't know what a Bird-style poem would sound like. Several meetings were held in the studio, ideas and suitable sounds were discussed.
“At some point during the summer, we went to the studio and tried to figure out our proposals. I wanted energy, something that came from within. That's how it happened – soul, blues,” says Zakharova.
Before that, the official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs sang a song Bella ciao with journalist Vincenzo Lorusso. This happened after she received a request from the Italian people. Zakharova added that she wants Italians to know that Russians are familiar with the true history of Italy, its ups and downs.
