AIGEL. European tour from 11 to 16 April 2025

AIGEL - electronica, indie-pop, hip-hop, trip-hop, psychedelic.

Electronic duo AIGEL was created in 2016 by Tatar singer and songwriter Aigel Gaisina from Kazan (Tatarstan) and music producer Ilya Baramiya from St. Petersburg. After a full-scale invasion in 2022, the band made an anti-war statement, was banned in Russia and left the country. Aigel Gaisina currently lives in Berlin and Ilya Baramia lives in Montenegro. The duo creates and performs songs in Russian, Tatar and English.

In the fall of 2023, the group's song "PYYALA," written in Tatar, topped the global Shazam chart, as well as the Apple Music and Spotify Top 100 charts in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Latvia, Estonia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan. It reached number 11 on the Billboard TikTok Top 100. The music video for "PYYALA" garnered 54 million views in four months. The song went viral and has been translated into many languages around the world. People from indigenous minorities whose native languages are in danger of extinction have translated the song into their own languages, emphasizing the cultural and linguistic diversity of the world and bringing attention to the issue of language loss.

From 2017 to 2024, the group has released over 30 music releases, including 5 full-length albums, and created 11 music videos, 8 of which have garnered over a million views and 2 have gone viral.

In the spring of 2025, AIGEL will embark on a massive tour of over 30 cities in Europe and America, showcasing new material as well as greatest hits from their eight-year history. The tour will be dedicated to their upcoming album, the songs in which will be recorded not only in Russian, Tatar and English, but also in German. The tour will feature exclusive merchandise including vinyl records and pendants specially created for fans.

Each concert will be preceded by a special live set by Ilya Baramiya, a member of AIGEL, known as one of the pioneers of electronic music in the post-Soviet space and one of the most influential music producers in Russia over the last 25 years.
