Jamshid Zakirov also played in such theatrical performances as: “Mardikor” and “Night in Venice”.

“Uch Kuduk”, “Star of the East”, “Shakhrisabz”... Hits of Tashkent stars of past years. Two years ago, the Uzbek ensemble “Yalla” celebrated thirty years of existence of its VIA.
But the permanent director of “Yalla” Farukh Zakirov is sure that they will surprise the audience with new hits!

Is it possible to write something brighter for “Yalla” than “Uch Kuduk”?

- Why not? That was in 1980, when we, in company with the famous Russian poet Yuri Entin, went on our next tour of Uzbekistan. We drove through the Kyzylkum desert, and Yuri, with his poetic gaze, somehow saw this industrial town located in the middle of the desert in a different way. An hour after walking around Uch Kuduk, Entin told me: “There is a song, let’s make music.” And literally in forty minutes I wrote music with a guitar. And in the evening at the concert we sang this song. So a similar song may well be born again. It's important to get inspired.

Have your songs ever been banned by Soviet censorship?

“The same “Uch Kuduk” was not released for a long time. One of the secretaries of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Uzbekistan was present at the concert. He heard the song and said in surprise: “A song about Uch Kuduk?” No one has ever dedicated a verse to this city, but here is a whole song! This remark was perceived by his subordinates as a prohibition. The song sat on the shelf for a whole year. But there were people who, at their own peril and risk, played “Uch Kuduk” on Central Television. Thus a new hit was born. Some time later I spoke with that official, he explained that he did not want to cause us any inconvenience. It turns out that with that phrase he simply expressed his delight.

At concerts, everyone is used to seeing you in oriental costume. But, they say, in Tashkent you dress like a European?

– To be honest, performing in an oriental costume in front of your own people is a “butter and butter” thing. My compatriots are used to seeing me in a formal suit and tie.

You have a lot of songs in Russian. I wonder what language you are thinking in?

– My wife, with whom we have lived for eighteen years, is Russian. And before I thought only in Russian. But now it’s already seventy percent in Uzbek. By the way, my wife speaks excellent Turkish, but she doesn’t speak Uzbek very well yet.

Evil tongues are spreading gossip that “Yalla” is a frequent guest at weddings in Uzbekistan these days. Like, it’s not the same popularity...

- It's the other way around! In Uzbekistan, singing at weddings is a great honor. A wedding is the most important event in the life of every person. People save money to celebrate their children's weddings and save money for famous artists. For a musician, this is also a kind of reference point: if you are in demand, you are often invited, which means you are popular.

Is there such a thing as Uzbek show business in your homeland?

– We have a lot of interesting young people. That's why show business exists. And it is very well developed.

Do you listen to Russian artists?

– Yes, we are watching them very closely. And young people, as I noticed, have recently been trying very hard to imitate Russian performers. This saddens me a little, because we ourselves have a lot of interesting things.

Why do you live in Uzbekistan and not in Russia? Many Soviet-era stars have been singing successfully in Moscow for a long time...

– There is one simple explanation - I love my native Tashkent. Like all eastern people, I honor the memory of my parents, who are buried on Uzbek soil. My father is People's Artist of Uzbekistan Karim Zakirov, one of the first national opera singers. And her mother is Shohista Saidova, a famous singer in the republic who worked at the Uzbek Musical Drama Theater.

Have your children followed in your footsteps in the profession?

– My father also expressed doubts: can there be so many musicians in one family? “You either have to be a very bright personality, or not engage in art at all” - these are his words... Both of my adult sons are studying abroad, and not in music at all. Although the youngest, it seems, began to glance in her direction - well, we’ll see... But Nargiz’s niece, the daughter of sister Louise, is already an accomplished singer, which, in my opinion, was confirmed by her participation in our current concert. The poet Ilya Reznik brought her onto the professional path when he was looking for a vocalist for the musical film “The Bride from Viadyl”. She even sang at the Jurmala festival, but out of competition, since she was a year short of the age limit. Now she lives in America.
