Oleg Gazmanov performed in Nizhny Novgorod on City Day.

      Popular singer and People's Artist of Russia Oleg Gazmanov performed in Nizhny Novgorod on City Day, August 15. He sang both well-known hits and several new songs. This was reported by a correspondent from IA "In the city N" from the scene. The concert (12+) took place on the main stage at Minin and Pozharsky Square. Before the performance, Gazmanov congratulated the residents of Nizhny Novgorod on the city's 805th anniversary.

      "It is a great honor for me to be before you, to reflect in your eyes, despite the weather. It was on this square that Minin came out and addressed the people to gather a militia and save the country when there were no social networks, no television, and no radio," said the singer.

      The first song performed by Oleg Gazmanov was "Zagulyal." He slightly altered the lyrics, and the audience was thrilled when they heard the words "I ended up in Nizhny Novgorod." Then the artist sang his most famous songs "Yesaul," "Moryachka," "Mama," and others, which the audience sang along with him. A new composition "Motorossy" was also performed. Oleg Gazmanov announced that this was its premiere.

      Despite the fact that it was very cold on City Day and the rain stopped only in the evening, a large number of people attended the concert—the entire square was filled.
