Russian rapper Gazan performed his viral track Six Seven live at a school assembly in Saint Petersburg on September 1. The musical performance took place at School No. 45 during the city's ceremonial celebrations for the start of the new academic year.
The artist, whose real name is Konstantin Zhukov, entertained pupils attending the event with a selection of his hit songs, according to local news portal 78.ru. Video footage published by the outlet showed primary school children singing along in unison as the musician performed before the crowd.
Performance of viral hits
During his appearance at the Saint Petersburg school, Zhukov performed his popular song 67, also known as Six Seven, alongside another hit track titled Cheremsha. The title Cheremsha refers to wild garlic, a wild herb native to Europe and Asia. Published clips showed younger students reacting with excitement and singing the choruses together.
Gazan has gained widespread online popularity through energetic tracks that frequently circulate across social media platforms. His catalog includes widely recognized titles such as Suetolog and Chto za lev etot tigr, a phrase translating to What a lion this tiger is that originated as a viral catchphrase. Addressing his sudden rise to prominence in previous comments, Zhukov stated that he had always dreamed of achieving such public attention.
Background on Knowledge Day
September 1 is celebrated across Russia as Knowledge Day, an annual national observance marking the official commencement of the school term. Educational institutions across the country conduct traditional outdoor assemblies, known as lineyka, where students gather to meet their teachers and classmates after the summer vacation.
School No. 45 is situated in Saint Petersburg, Russia's second largest city and a major cultural center located on the Neva River along the Baltic Sea. Local assemblies on Knowledge Day routinely feature musical guest appearances alongside traditional ceremonial bells to welcome new and returning pupils.
