Evgeniy Khavtan

Evgeny Khavtan has been passionate about music since childhood and is convinced that a person who is professionally involved in composing and concert activities cannot have time for scandals, parties, business and work as a deputy. The predominant audience of the Bravo group he created is younger than this group, which celebrated its 35th anniversary in 2018.

The future musician was born into the family of an engineer and philologist. Although this happened six months after Gagarin's flight into space, the boy was named not Yura, but Zhenya. Parents, Jewish by nationality, survived the horrors of World War II, Evgeny's mother, Etya Meerovna, wrote a book of memoirs about the tragic experience of life in the ghetto in the early 2000s. In his youth, the father of the singer and composer served on a destroyer for 5 years. The musician has a younger sister named Rita.

Evgeny Khavtan believes that everything good in him - musical ability, erudition, the ability to dress stylishly, love for the hearth and the absence of alcohol dependence - are the merit of his family. My paternal grandfather, being a professional tailor, played the violin wonderfully. Papa Lev repaired and improved acoustic systems.

The family had a good collection of vinyl records, despite the workload, they found time for home gatherings, in which one aunt played the piano and the other sang, and occasional outings to the restaurant. Evgeny Lvovich recalls that the members of the restaurant musical ensembles seemed to him to be heavenly inhabitants.

A kind, homely atmosphere opposed the hooligan morals of the Moscow district of Kuzminki, in which Zhenya grew up. At school, the boy liked only humanitarian subjects, and he met tobacco and alcohol in the 7th grade. However, according to Evgeny, he never liked the idea of ​​"getting drunk".

At the age of 14, the “simple romantic”, who mastered the first chords on the guitar donated by his aunt, entered a music school on his own initiative, and, despite a late start, in a year caught up and surpassed the “house boys” in performing skills. The guy was very lucky with the teacher - the namesake of the famous actress Svetlana Svetlichnaya inspired the future musician with beauty and talent.

The first ensemble, which broke up after several rehearsals, Zhenya created while still in the pioneer camp, and the school group formed by the novice guitarist graced Havtan's graduation party. The musician has photos of these bands. Musical and organizational talents contributed to the authority of the young man, who was not distinguished by high growth, athletic build and ability to fight.

Parents were wary of their son's dreams of a performing career. His father, who had spent an amount equal to his monthly salary on the purchase for Eugene of a semi-acoustic guitar made in the GDR, insisted on admitting the guy to a serious technical institute. Therefore, Khavtan Jr. went to study to be a railway engineer. Evgeny Lvovich managed to graduate from the university in 1987.

Havtan works in such directions as blues, rockabilly, indie, jazz. Eugene sings, plays classical and original guitars, as well as the instrument "good", composes music and lyrics for compositions.

The professional biography of Khavtan the musician began with a collaboration with the Rare Bird ensemble. At the age of 21, Eugene received an invitation from Igor Sukachev to participate in the Postscriptum group. It soon became clear that it is easier for a young talent to create his own group than to adapt to other people's collectives.

In 1983, the group "Bravo" appeared, whose songs - "This city", "Orange tie", "Love does not burn", "King Orange summer" - are popular to this day. In March 1984, the "bravura" musicians were arrested for illegal entrepreneurial activity, the soloist Zhanna Aguzarova was exiled to her small homeland, in Siberia, and Evgeny Khavtan was expelled from the institute.

After 2 years, the criminal case was closed due to lack of evidence. In the mid-80s, the group was patronized by Alla Pugacheva, the star insisted on the participation of "Bravo" in the popular television project "Musical Ring". In the future, however, the prima donna of the Russian stage played a negative role in the history of the group, pushing Aguzarova to a solo career.

After a long search for a new soloist, the musicians came to the conclusion that now the frontman of the group should be a man, since listeners will compare any singer with the unique Jeanne. This is how the star of Valery Syutkin, who re-sang many of Aguzarova's songs and participated in the creation of new legendary compositions, such as "Vasya" and "I am what I need", rose.

After the departure of Syutkin and the ranks of the frontmen, Khavtan risked taking the place of the vocalist in his group. He also successfully collaborates with other bands - his song "Z6.6", created with the group "Cockroaches", was in the lead in the 2003 hit parade.

It is curious that in the clips illustrating the songs of the Bravo group, then little-known, but now super-popular actors such as Maxim Averin and members of the Quartet I, were repeatedly filmed.

Evgeny Lvovich does not like to flaunt his personal life. The composer calls his wife Marina “the wife of the Decembrist,” because his life partner has gone through years of lack of money, a time of constant tours and parting. The young people met thanks to a friend of Zhenya, to whom the aspiring musician tried to sell fashionable corduroy trousers.

As a result, the friend's girlfriend became Khavtan's bride, and the lucky Eugene was beaten by an unlucky rival. Now the former enemy of Evgeny works in the Bravo group as a technical officer.

The composer's wife is an engineer-economist by profession, but after Evgeny achieved financial well-being, she does not work. The couple did not have children for a long time. The only daughter Polina appeared in 1993, 10 years after the marriage of her parents. Polina Khavtan chose the path of film critic.

In 2018, the main group of Havtan gave 13 concerts in 11 cities. The discography of the group was replenished with the collection "Bravoperspektiva" and a new album. In addition, the musician has a new group "Los Havtanos", playing in the genre of "Mickey Mouse Latin Pop".

In September, Yevgeny Khavtan, paying tribute to his father's naval past, made a week-long voyage on the Sedov sailing ship as a sailor. Now the singer, whose wrist is decorated with a tattoo of a nautical theme, has the right to call himself a certified "brave sailor".

Two months after the swim, the Bravo group gave anniversary concerts in both Russian capitals. On the eve of the Moscow performance, the musicians learned the sad news - the singer Yevgeny Osin, who collaborated with the band in the late 80s and performed the hit of the group "Good Evening, Moscow", died.

Fans of the band, who came to congratulate her on her 35th birthday, heard not only hits of the past, but also compositions from the new album "Unrealized", dedicated to the memory of Yevgeny Khavtan's mother, new songs, including pacifist ones. The audience was surprised by the appeal of the singers of "the best city on Earth" to Mike Naumenko's anti-Moscow blues with the words "I hate the Arbat".

Evgeny Lvovich admits that he really does not like the bustle of the capital, and fled from her to a country house. Life outside the Moscow Ring Road allows the composer to play music without looking back at his neighbors who want to sleep, ride a bicycle with his daughter, keep an extensive collection of vintage musical instruments and do yoga in the fresh air. Now the singer is planning to buy a "fancy" motor scooter.

On the night of January 1, 2019, the OTR channel showed the concert "Bravo - 30 Years", filmed in 2013.
