Unknown artist: is it worth looking for?

The concept of "unknown artist" for each person can be different. For someone who doesn't know much about music, it can be quite a well-hyped composition, but the listener doesn't know the name of the singer or the name of the band. For another, an unknown performer is a melody that rarely sounds at the box office, so to find out who plays it and who the author is, you need to search the Internet on specialized sites.

But there are works that are really incomprehensible by whom were invented. Most often, the unknown performer in this case is a representative of the author's song and rap culture. Moreover, among such compositions there are, indeed, worthy of a big stage and multimillion-dollar rentals. They were simply invented in order to please friends, relatives, and beloved ones. Or an unknown performer tried to try his hand at musical art. For the sake of interest, he took a guitar, composed a verse, picked up a melody - so a rather interesting composition came out, which after a lotyears made someone stop their attention on her. Today on the Internet you can find songs by unknown performers, recorded back in Soviet times on a reel to reel tape recorder. For example, a company of friends gathered somewhere in the yard in the vast expanses of our Motherland, sat on a bench with girls, and one of them, in order to surprise the opposite sex and impress the ladies, took and sang a song with a guitar. And one of my friends for fun recorded it on tape.

Many years have passed, the guys have matured a long time ago, now they have their own children who love to experiment with electronic devices. So, perhaps, it turned out that the record had not yet been demagnetized (it was sometimes listened to as a joke). But since the film is a short-lived thing, they digitized the recording and threw off the songs of unknown performers on the network for friends to listen to. And they went for a walk in the virtual spaces. Finding out who sang it and when is now practically impossible, or there is a very small probability.

And the unknown performer, indeed, composed a unique composition, because he sang it for the soul and from the bottom of his heart, and this melody became popular in social networks. Of course, someone can say that this is his melody and his poetry, but will it be true? It may simply turn out that this someone wants to undeservedly swim in the glory. But does it really matter who came up with the composition many years ago? After all, if a song is good, people like it, regardless of who wrote it. Byanalogies can be recalled about Russian folk songs and fairy tales. They, too, were first invented by some unknown performers, but there are no traces of them left in history. The works themselves began to live for centuries. So with this song, which someone came up with back in Soviet times, the same thing can happen. She will continue to live in the virtual space, in MP3 players and mobile phones of her fans and will turn into a folk, common.

Moreover, with a high degree of probability there will be producers or performers who will want to remix it and present it to the audience in an updated form in the hope that it will also win their hearts.
