The rock band “Druha Rika”, the multimarket chain “Avrora” and the job search service Work.ua are raising 15 million hryvnias to support the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine's Military Development and Reform Commission. They recorded the video “No Longer a Catfish” – an ironic remake of the song “No Longer a Catfish”.
The video was shot by the Piece of Studio production team, which collaborated with the Badstreet Boys donation group and the “Nashebachenya” donation song contest. Mark Kutsevalov, Artem Damnitsky, and “Bumper and Sus” appeared in the clip, writes 24 Kanal .
The campaign is dedicated to the large-scale show “I am! 30 years old” and the tour of the band “Druha Rika”, which starts on March 8 at the Kyiv Palace of Sports. The goal is to raise funds for a boat for evacuation missions to rescue scouts, a MAVIC 3T drone, and server equipment. You can join the collection at the link .
I remember our first rehearsals. We prepared very carefully for the shooting of the video, a month before the start we went to the Dnieper, inspected the location. Valery dived, and I caught him in the water – I was a kind of improvised fisherman. The longest time Kharchyshyn stayed under water was almost three minutes. Valery learned to be a catfish, and it was very interesting and exciting. I was sincerely surprised by this transformation – he did everything right,
– said Mark Kutsevalov.

The hero of the clip goes through an internal transformation. The events take place on a lake where the largest catfish in the history of Kyiv was allegedly caught in 1976. They say that the fisherman was wearing the same black kosusa that Valeriy Kharchyshyn wore in the video.
The song “Vzhe ne som” helps raise funds for GUR – our goal is 15 million hryvnias. It has acquired new meanings and should fulfill its direct purpose. Every normal band that has been on the scene for a long time has self-criticism and calmly treats such experiments,
– said the frontman of “Druha Rika”.
