Polad Mamedov

Polad Bulbul-oglu is a singer and composer whose name was known in every corner of the Soviet Union. Author and performer of the hits "Oh, this girl" and "Call", actor and talented politician, professor and doctor of art history of the creative academy. An Azerbaijani by nationality, Polad made a huge contribution to the development of the music of his native country, skillfully combined ancient national melodism with modern rhythms. In fact, the man devoted his life to promoting the singing culture of Azerbaijan.

The singer was born in Baku, the head of the family in the first document in the life of the heir wrote him down as Polad Murtuza oglu Mamedov. People's Artist of the USSR Murtuza Mammadov gave his son a stern name (translated from Persian Polad means "steel"), and in the future he gave his own nickname. Compatriots called Murtuza Bulbul, which means "nightingale" from Azerbaijani. The matured son also "turned" into this sweet-voiced bird, choosing Bulbul as his official stage name.

Father was respected throughout the Union, and especially at home. Murtuza Mammadov is a graduate of the conservatory, gained experience at the Italian La Scala, opened a vocal school in Azerbaijan. Mom Adelaide ran the affairs of the Memorial Museum.

Childhood Polad flew in the center of the capital of his native republic, in an elite house where party leaders and representatives of culture lived. Parents sometimes sent their offspring to relatives in the city of Shusha, which is considered the "conservatory" of the Caucasus.

The composer confessed that he grew up as a hooligan, noisy boy, and put the whole yard on the ears with the wild cries of Tarzan. And Muslim Magomayev helped him in mischief. Young friends clumsily shouted songs together, which irritated the neighbors wildly. They did not yet know that they were dealing with future pop stars - a brilliant baritone and lyric tenor.

Polad mastered playing the piano at a music school, and then became a student at the Azerbaijan State Conservatory. He first appeared on the stage at the age of 17, accompanied his father. By this time he was already composing songs, part of them devoted to his faithful comrade Muslim.

While studying at the conservatory, Bulbul-oglu became seriously interested in Azerbaijani folklore, especially carried away by the genre of bayata. He began to experiment with it, creating a whole cycle of songs using this form of Azerbaijani folklore. At the age of 24, Polad was admitted to the ranks of the Union of Composers of the USSR.

In addition to folk traditions, the aspiring singer and composer was interested in contemporary music. Polad harmoniously combined these two principles in his work. The voice, clear as a tear, quickly won the love of Soviet listeners. Bulbul-oglu took the helm of the pop ensemble of Azerbaijan, with which he traveled with concerts across the immense USSR, and later went to conquer other countries of the world.

Polad's songs sounded from every house. The musician had a unique lyric tenor, very light, high, as if transparent. Sharma was also added by virtuoso performance. Serious music also found a place in his work: the composer composed a scattering of symphonic and chamber instrumental pieces. The most famous are the sonata "Rhythms of Absheron", "Variations" for piano, "Poem" for orchestra.

The degree of popularity of Bulbul-oglu went off scale in the 80s. The fruits of the composer's labors were appreciated by the stars burning brightly in the pop horizon. The songs of the talented Azerbaijani were included in the repertoire of Joseph Kobzon, Lyudmila Senchina, Lev Leshchenko, Roxana Babayan and other famous performers. The compositions "Expansion", "Call", "Illuminated World" poured from the radio receivers.

In the future, the newly-minted stars also sang Polad with pleasure and collaborated with the man as the author of hits. And sometimes the singer personally composed a duet with artists of the new generation. In the early 2000s, for example, at one of the concerts he performed in tandem with Nikolai Baskov - they sang the Azerbaijani “Gel Ey Seher”. The "Russian blond" is well acquainted with Polad, his father was friends with this composer.

The creative biography of Polad Bulbul-oglu was not limited to music. The singer is the hero of a number of feature films. He played roles in the Soviet tapes "Tales of the Russian Forest", "On the Wings of a Song". And in 1981, the adventure comedy by Julia Gusman "Don't be afraid, I'm with you!" Was released.

The director came to the composer for new melodies, and along with 12 romantic songs he got an actor. Polad, who talentedly embodied the image of Teymur in love, instantly became a movie star. In 2013, the director filmed the continuation of the film, which was called “Don't be afraid, I'm with you! 1919 ". Bulbul-oglu again appeared in the role of Teymur, who had only aged.

The charming, prominent Polad was liked by women and was included in the list of the most beautiful Soviet men. The musician visited the registry office twice. The first time he married a Ukrainian opera singer with an amazing voice, Bela Rudenko. The young man was 12 years younger than the chosen one, but this fact did not stop them. Bela's name and talent thundered all over the world, her face never left the covers of magazines - it's hard not to fall in love.

The Azerbaijani singer courted ardently, with an oriental scale - he showered with flowers, arranged gorgeous dinners. In the end, Rudenko gave up and married a fan. An heir appeared in the family, who was named Teymur. The son followed in his father's footsteps, also a musician, Honored Artist of the Russian Federation.

The birth of a child did not make my mother stay at home. Soon, the singer again took up what she loved: frequent tours, the separation of the spouses shattered the marriage. Dispersed peacefully, by mutual agreement.

The second wife of Gulnar Shikhaliyeva gave the composer two children - daughter Leila and son Murtuzu. They also joined the musical world.

Polad Bulbul-oglu made a political career. In the 80s, he sat in the deputy chair of the Baku City Council, headed the committee on culture, after perestroika he even was the minister of his native republic. From 2006 to the present day - Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Azerbaijan to the Russian Federation.

The man often appears on the news and on television, sometimes performs at concerts. In 2017, he pleased Lev Leshchenko with songs at the anniversary evening. In the winter of 2018, I talked with a longtime friend Leonid Yakubovich, who invited the artist to his program "Star on Star". The conversation went far beyond music and touched upon political issues.

And in May a letter signed by Bulbul-oglu circulated in the press. The ambassador sent a complaint to the editor-in-chief of radio "Echo of Moscow" Alexei Venediktov, in which he criticized the incorrect statements of the observer Yulia Latynina in relation to the Azerbaijani people.
