Нино Катамадзе одна из самых значимых фигур в жанре WORLD-MUSIC. Новый и давно ожидаемый альбом «White» это — мощный поток национального фольклора и джазовых импровизаций. Великолепный голос и мощная энергетика. Всё это в новом альбоме «White» легендарной Нино Катамадзе и группы Insight.

Она окунает в себя с головой – но только тех, кто сам хочет окунуться. Альбом «Red», как и предыдущие разноцветные пластинки Нино Катамадзе, ни на чем не настаивает: он абсолютно толерантен к любым реакциям на себя – можно вообще не слушать, можно скучать от повторения пройденного, а можно и бездумно в него погружаться. Ключевое слово – «бездумно». Вопрос «Как они это делают?», конечно, приходил в пытливую голову рецензента, по никаких внятных ответов в этой голове так и не появилось. Свои малосвязные потуги на ответы я с вашего разрешения приводить здесь не буду.
Мало что объясняет и вложенный в издание бонус-DVD c фильмом «40.000 минут в красном» о записи альбома. Над диском «Red» Нино и Insight работали в Берлине, и в ленте мы видим крайне углубленных в свое дело людей, фанатиков, будто бы меньше всего заботящихся о том, как они выглядят со стороны и какую реакцию должна вызывать музыка, которую они совместно творят в студии. Как и полагается в подобных фильмах, музыканты говорят здесь какие-то слова, к ним присоединяются и немецкие звукоинженеры – но формулировки звучат до крайности банально и кажутся необязательными прослойками между музыкальными пьесами. Больше любых слов говорят о происходящем кадры, в которых Гоча Качеишвили получает и распаковывает новую гитару. Вот они тщательно вскрывают коробку, вот с трепетом вынимают драгоценный инструмент – и вот гитара уже задействована в записи: мизансцена сколь проста, столь и глубока. Вообще же в документальном фильме про Insight можно было обойтись вообще без слов: хроника записи и рожденный в студии саундтрек дали бы исчерпывающую картину.

Нино Катамадзе & Insight — это cложная, умная, нездешняя музыка. Это развернутое философское повествование о жизни. Песни группы заставляют размышлять о вечности жизни человека, сопереживать, думать, сострадать и надеяться. Это умная музыка для ценителей серьезного искусства. Суть и смысл творчества коллектива — проникновение в суть сложных явлений жизни.
Презентация нового альбома Нино Катамадзе & Insight «Green» прошла спустя всего ровно год после альбома «Red». Теперь грузинские музыканты вернулись к более взвешенным музыкальным формам, это энергия, обращенная не вовне, а внутрь. С «Red» новую пластинку роднит не только феноменальный голос певицы, но и стремление ее коллег к диалогу с выдающимися мастерами-инструменталистами. Несмотря на то, что одна из характеристик музыки Нино Катамадзе & Insight, наиболее распространенных в пресс-релизах, это world music, в «Green» музыканты ворошат джазовые традиции, остроумно полемизируя со стереотипами «умного» джаза. У гитариста Гочи Качеишвили, что называется, «наболело» — его партии придуманы и исполнены с блеском и иронией и полны стремительной джазовой мысли. На «Green» есть и вполне актуальные ритмические структуры, например, трек «Gammai» опирается о крепкий брейкбитовый скелет. Впрочем, публика любит Нино, прежде всего, за способность спуститься на самый примитивный мелодический уровень, за умение излить душу в простых, но щемящих лирических напевах, идущих от грузинской музыки, но уместных в любой части вселенной. Такие пьесы в новом альбоме тоже есть. Композиции «Vahagn» и «English» точно откликнутся в чьих-то жизнях — Нино поет так, будто читает ваши мысли и отвечает им на своем языке.
