ZhEUDET Shakirov Biography

Chernyadieva tribes to the great singer to find traces of memory in Tatarstan about Ilgam Shakirov, which had gone almost six years ago. In the native village of Yana-Bulyak-it is located an hour and a half drive from Naberezhnye Chelny-there is a museum of his name, and new exhibits constantly appear in it. In Salavat Cooper, Ilgam Shakirov Avenue was opened, and on Bauman, on the alley of the stars, you can find his name plate.

And if you go to the Filarmony Square, you will see a spruce planted in memory of the Tatar Nightingale. But despite this, and the love of people for Shakirov music for the concert-tribute of this year add more than 26 thousand listening for a month on the artist created by the artist in Yandex, about the life of the Honored and People’s Artist of the TASSR, the leading soloist and artistic director of the Tutfiral named after Tukai, not so much has been written.

Sad songs to the sad childhood, the native village of Shakirova, Yana Bulyak, appeared in the Sarmanovsky district now she belongs to Tukaevsky just ten years before the birth of the singer. Then, in the year, a law came out that allowed the peasants to master new lands, and they began to move to more prosperous fertile territories. Among the immigrants were the mother and father of Ilgam - Nuriasma and Gilmetdin Shakirov.

The head of the family was engaged in blacksmithing. The settlement grew quickly: an elementary school appeared here almost immediately, and a collective farm with large -scale crops came in X. Then Yana-Bulyak began to be called this place, translated into Russian-a “new gift”, which was sent to the plow, mower, seeder, horse-scale grain-ground machine and other things that the Soviet government presented for the active entry of the villagers to the collective farm.

The Ilgam family was large, and the future artist was the youngest in it. In M, Shakirov’s father was arrested by denunciation “for the kulaks” and put in prison, from which he no longer returned. Mother had to educate six children herself. The elder brother tried to replace his father, but he was taken away after a while - to war. From her, he, like his father from prison, did not return.

The village of Yana-Bulyak called us the family of the jailer. They were overlaid with taxes. Weaved not for themselves, but for sale. They themselves went barefoot worked on the conveyor system: I started, and then passed on a circle to my sister. In the village, it was believed that the boy would attract trouble in such a choice of repertoire - and even the mother of Ilgam often asked him to stop.

However, the boy continued and even performed at school concerts. I was born in an amazingly beautiful place. Although we were hungry, we noticed nature. I sang and danced from three years. There were no problems with the Christmas tree - the forest is nearby. The women and children gathered in the club. I was left as the end of the program at the very end.

How could I make them cry? It is now clear that if people cry during singing, this is sacred. Successfully passing the entrance exams did not allow him to the stigma of the “son of the enemy of the people” - the examiner himself told Ilgam about this during the next trip of the singer to Elabuga. The first on the left - Ilga Shakirov went to the Elabuga Pedagogical Institute.

There, as I remember now, the German Lustik examined. I have not passed. And it’s good that I didn't pass. Because then he went to Kazan and entered the music school. The future singer was then 19 years old. Shakirov spent only a year at the school - for successes he was transferred to the Kazan State Conservatory named after Zhiganov. There, at the Vocal Faculty, he came to the teacher of solo singing Elena Ambrosimova and the teacher Zyugra Bayrasheva, who led the class of the vocal ensemble.

Little is known about how Ilgam studied - there are almost no preserved memories. Musical education greatly expanded my horizons. After all, both the actor and the singer in order to be a real master, you need to know the entire previous experience. Here is one case of a million. A song about a man who has wounds whines in such weather. But this song is not about health.

She has a much deeper content. He performed it at the concert. Spectators applauded. I was very angry - did not understand? And there, after the song, silence reigned in the hall. Then, of course, they slammed. It was so joyful for me that I managed to convey to the listeners the true meaning of the song. It didn't reach. And if the viewer thought ...
