Tuzin.fm (Belarusian: Тузін Гітоў; transl. A dozen hits) is a private non-profit Belarusian web-portal, which was created in 2003 to cover musical creativity in Belarus.[1] Among its objectives, the site promotes music written in Belarus and motivates to listen to Belarusian songs as large an audience as possible.[2] It initiates and implements music projects and is the information partner of the most significant events of the Belarusian independent music scene. Independently determining its information policy, the nature and content of the information, advertising, audio, and video materials, in 2009 the mass media had more than 50 thousand monthly visitors who downloaded more than 80 thousand songs.[3]

History

The portal began operations on 12 October 2003.[4] The site has changed its address several times. Initially, it was available over at music.fromby.net. Later on, the address was changed to tuzin.fm,[5] but after problems with the domain, it was moved to tuzinfm.by. Since May 2017 the portal is available over at tuzin.by too.[6] The back catalogue of articles is presented over at mpby.ru.

In 2004 together with the Belarusian Collegium, it published the book "Belarusian: Залатыя дыскі беларускага рок-н-ролу" with a description of 20 music albums from the 1970–1990 years.[7]

Since 2004, it broadcasts the radio version of its hit parade, entitled "Belarusian: Радыё Тузін", which is anchored by the lead singer of the band Belarusian: Палац Belarusian: Алег Хаменка. From the beginning, airing was on Radio Rocks (Minsk), since 2005 on Radio Minsk, since 2006 on Radio Racyja (Białystok).[8] In 2005–2011, it annually releases a compilation of 12 winning songs from the network's hit parade called "Belarusian: Прэм’ер Тузін" (2005,[9][10] 2006, 2007, 2008,[11] 2009, 2011). In 2005–2007, it took part in the holding of the ceremony of awarding the best musicians of the country "Belarusian: Рок-каранацыя".[12] On 16 March 2006, it held the concert "Rock Revolution" in Vilnius (Lithuania) with the participation of N.R.M. In 2006, together with the label VoliaMusic, it published the compilation album "Belarusian: Песьні свабоды". On 3 November 2007, in the church of Saints Simon and Helena in Minsk, it held a memory concert to collect funds for a monument for poet Anatol Sys.[13] On 31 August 2008, in Minsk, after a 12-year hiatus, it restored the music festival "Belarusian: Рок па вакацыях".

In 2009 and 2011 together with the public movement Budzma Belarusians!, it released music CDs Tuzin. Perazagruzka and Budzma! Tuzin. Perazagruzka-2 with translated into Belarusian songs by foreign-language performers. In 2011–2012 it arranged the acoustic concert series "Belarusian: Тузін. Unplugged" with the participation of Belarusian rock bands.[14] In 2012–2013 it held a series of concerts "Belarusian: Жывы Тузін". In 2012, together with Radio Racyja (Białystok), it issued the audiobook "Belarusian: Дзінь-дзілінь: пара гуляць у казкі" by Sergey Vitushka. In 2012–2013 together with the Podlaska Opera and Orchestra, it prepared a musical voiceover disk of the Belarusian silent film classics "Belarusian: Тузін. Немаўля".[15] In June 2014 together with the Viasna Human Rights Centre, it released the collection of songs "Belarusian: Апошні золак".[16][17][18] Also in 2014 together with the Foundation "Belarusian: Вяртаньне", it held a contest of young performers "Belarusian: Засьпявай.by",[19] another one was opened in 2017.[20]

As a continuation of Tuzin. Perazagruzka and Budzma! Tuzin. Perazagruzka-2, a new similar project "Global Reload" was started in 2014, featuring Andrey Makarevich and more.[21]

Appraisal

In the interview with the founder Siarhei Budkin in connection with the 1st anniversary of the site, Volha Samusik of Muzykalnaya Gazeta stated that music.fromby.net was the most popular among Belarusian Internet portals.[22] In her feature in 2005, she also described Tuzin.fm as "the most popular Belarusian music site."[10] In a report from its 5th anniversary party, Tuzin.fm was introduced by Belorusy i rynok's Anna Zhdanovich as "one of the largest resources on the Internet devoted to Belarusian music."[23]

Being interviewed by Muzykalnaya Gazeta in 2006, rock-princess Rusya recognized that the portal, which "has gained momentum," is the godfather of her band Indiga.[24]

During the presentation of the compilation album "Belarusian: Прэм'ер Тузін 2007" in 2008, musician Lavon Volski pointed out that Tuzin.fm "is the only competent hit parade in Belarus."[25]

The founder of Ultra-music.com [be] Viačaslaŭ Radyjonaŭ gave his assessment of the portal on its seven-year anniversary via Budzma Belarusians!: "That is a unique and very timely phenomenon. It appeared exactly when Belarusian-language music needed support and the opportunity to bring it to a large audience."[26]

In a review of all Belarusian music awards for 2013, Paviel Svierdlov, editor of "KYKY.ORG", criticized the portal because the hit parade did not work for a year, but praised offline activities, "two excellent projects: "Belarusian: Дзінь-дзілінь: Пара гуляць у казкі" and "Belarusian: Тузін.Немаўля"."[27]
