Jamal is in touch. Jamal managed to change everything: nationality, political views and even gender

JAMALA - THE SUN OF TAVRIDA

Ukrainian singer of Crimean Tatar origin Jamal considered an inconvenient performer. And all because she does not shock the public with cheap scandals, does not sing "sticky" songs and does not promote her name with duets with popular colleagues. Her songs are filled with meaning and taken from the depths of the soul, and non-standard five-octave vocals captivate the audience. And this is the only thing the Ukrainian winner wants to do all her life.

musical family

WITH early childhood the life of the future singer was not carefree. was born Susana Jamaladinova(this is the real name of Jamala) in the Kyrgyz city of Osh in 1983. Her paternal ancestors were deported from the Crimea to Kyrgyzstan in 1944. And the mother's ancestors (Armenians by nationality) had to leave Nagorno-Karabakh after dispossession. Jamala's parents met in a music school, where Galina was a pianist, and Alim was the conductor of his ensemble, which performed Crimean Tatar music, as well as melodies of peoples Central Asia. The Jamaladinov family celebrated their daughter's first birthday in Melitopol, Ukraine. Jamala's father dreamed of returning to his historical homeland in the Crimea, but in the 1980s there was an unofficial ban on moving Crimean Tatars to the peninsula and, moreover, the sale of housing to them. Then Jamala's parents decided to issue a fictitious divorce. The father stayed with his two daughters to live in Melitopol, and the mother went to the village of Malorechenskoye (Kuchuk-Uzen) near Alushta, where she rented a room and began to teach music. After 4 years, she managed to buy a house and reunite with her family.

In love with jazz

From the age of three, Susana sang at all family holidays and friendly gatherings, she instantly entered the image that she invented for herself, copied famous performers, reproduced by ear their vocal parts. Papa Alim regularly brought home folk music- Crimean Tatar, Iranian, Azerbaijani ... Therefore, he still considers his first teachers and authorities in the world of music is parents. Even before going to bed, my mother put a record on her daughter so that she would fall asleep peacefully. As soon as the music ended on one side, the girl would wake up and start crying.

Susana was lucky to meet the arranger Gennady Astsaturyan, who instilled in her a love for jazz art. First, he forced the girl to listen to the recordings of the great. Of course, such childish vocals were at first a burden to young Jamala. But Gennady did not deviate from the plan. Once he gave her a cassette of Ella's songs and told her to learn by heart for the next meeting. Then Susana did not know English, but this did not stop her teacher. The novice singer had to learn all the songs by ear, taking up the matter with maximum responsibility. When she came to Assaturyan to perform jazz compositions, he did not even listen, giving her a new cassette. He knew perfectly well that the persistent Susana would teach her. Thanks to such preparation, she entered the Simferopol Musical College without any problems. In the classroom, the girl studied the classics, and then hurried to the basement, where she played in her jazz group Tutti.

Looking for a teacher

next step life path Jamala became the Kiev National Academy of Music, where she entered the class of opera vocals. But there the girl had to face serious problems, because of which she wanted to quit training several times. The fact is that due to the authoritarian pedagogical approach of one of the teachers, Susana often had non-closure of the ligaments on a nervous basis, and she lost her voice. The teacher allowed herself to insult the student, telling her that her voice was only good for shouting on the beach: “Shashlik!”. As a result, the girl moved to another teacher - Natalya Gorbatenko. After that, she became the best student on the course and graduated from the academy with honors.

Jamala New Wave

She was immediately made an offer that not every graduate receives. Susana was invited to work in opera house Switzerland. But her boyfriend, the first and crazy love, did not want to let the girl go. He even offered her to marry him in order to keep her in Ukraine, but she did not want to start a family in such a situation. dreamed of going on an internship at Milan's La Scala theater and devoting her life to opera art. However, fate decreed otherwise.

Jamala has been participating in song contests since the age of 15. On international show"Voices of the Future" Nizhny Novgorod she won the Grand Prix. But turning in creative life the singer was 2009 and victory in the competition " New wave» in Jurmala. She presented to the public and the jury a cover version of the song "History Repeating" British group Propellerheads, performed Ukrainian folk song"Up, my top" and his own composition "Mama's Son".

First try

After such success, Jamala began to actively tour, participate in a TV show and received the "Person of the Year" award in the "Idol of Ukrainians" nomination. She was invited to perform main party in the opera Spanish Hour. Then there was participation in the performance-opera on the theme of Bondiana. Then I fell in love with her voice British actor Jude Law. And in 2011, Susana decided to participate in the all-Ukrainian selection for international competition for which she wrote her new song"Smile". The singer reached the final, but after voting she lost to Zlata Ognevich and Mika Newton, who became the winner of the internal selection. The voting results provoked a scandal and suspicions of falsification. The national television company decided to hold a second vote, but Zlata Ognevich also refused to participate in it.

All or nothing

In the spring of 2011, Jamala released her debut album For Every Heart. Most of the songs in the collection are Susana's original compositions, one of which she performed on mother tongue. Not long in coming and the second studio album singers - "All Or Nothing". Having such an outstanding vocal, does not write instantly recognizable songs. She does not try to reach the audience as much as possible and win commercial laurels. Jamala does not strive for rapid popularity, she tries to create only the music that is close to her, passes all the compositions through herself and always believes in what she sings about.

While she does not feel like a successful singer and believes that real fame comes with age, like real wisdom, and the love of viewers and listeners, the favor of the public is tested by time. calls successful those artists whose music and thoughts continue to return after decades, whose work is necessary and relevant.

Acting debut

In 2014, Jamala decided to try herself in a new role and accepted the offer. famous director Olesya Sanina to star in the movie "Guide", action which takes place in 1933. After the premiere, the director named the performer leading role wonderful actress with a great future. Interestingly, after the screen test, no one supported the choice of Oles Sanin, but he immediately considered acting talent in an oriental modest girl. By the way, during the filming, the debutante was most worried about how she would play the kiss scene, which her father would later see. Impressed by the work in the film "The Guide" she wrote the song "Why are the eyes out?". At the same time, the performer began to actively participate in public events, to speak out in support of the unity of Ukraine after the outbreak of hostilities in the country.

winner

Despite the fact that she promised herself not to participate in the competition anymore, in 2016 she decided to forget old grievances and move forward. After a trip to Sri Lanka, she took up the preparations with renewed vigor and inspiration. Jamala wanted to tell the whole world about the tragedy of her people with the help of your creativity and vocal skills. This is how the song "1944" appeared, dedicated to the deportation of the Crimean Tatars, after the liberation of the peninsula Soviet troops.Jamala's grandfather survived this horror. He was 16 years old when the doors were opened in the Crimean houses, they were given 15 minutes to get ready and informed that they were being evicted. There were more than 180 thousand of them.

Serious passions broke out around this composition. There was a possibility that the song would be seen as having a political context and removed from the competition. Fortunately, this did not happen and Jamala managed to convey her message to an international audience. She received high marks from the jury of the competition and viewers. The sum of these points brought Jamal a well-deserved victory at. She became the second Ukrainian singer (after) who was awarded this creative award And international recognition. From childhood, Jamala went forward, not stopping in the face of difficulties, not being afraid of experiments, and, finally, she was rewarded for this. She was also awarded the title People's Artist Ukraine.

On stage, the singer is expressive and bright, but in real life she is very restrained, punctual and calm. admits that in such a difficult time for her homeland, she cannot write funny songs, her soul is overflowing with other emotions, but she believes and waits ...

DATA

Likes to read books about life famous musicians, she is also interested in various genres of cinema, she improves her English, performs with concerts, participates in charity events, never loses touch with the Crimean Tatar community and tries to exceed her abilities in any business, because she is a born perfectionist.

One of my favorite singers Jamals- American singer Ukrainian origin. The Grammy Award nominee managed to make a remarkably bright statement on the world stage about Ukrainian music and culture far from her homeland. It is for this that Jamala bows before her. In this, she sees real patriotism - without PR and slogans.

London, 20 May. Published in London in Bulgarian edition Bulgarian times reported that the winner of Eurovision with the song "1944" Jamal at her birth on August 27, 1983 in the Kyrgyz city of Osh was a boy named Abdulkhair. She changed gender after surgery in 2006 and became Susanna Jamaladinova. As evidence, the publishing house publishes a photograph where a secondary sign is clearly visible that remains from her male past - Adam's apple, Adam's apple.


Regarding her victory, the publication writes that, in principle, there is nothing new in this, because in 2014 the Austrian won Eurovision Thomas Neuwirth better known as the bearded woman Conchita Wurst.

In my other articles Bulgarian times informs its readers about the singer's grandfather, who served the Germans in one of the ten Crimean Tatar battalions formed by the Germans. It is especially emphasized that they were formed exclusively by volunteers. In April-May 1944, they entered into battle with units Soviet army who liberated the Crimea from the Nazis. The defeated remnants of these battalions flee from the Crimea, but do not stop fighting - from their remnants the Tatar Mountain Jaeger Regiment of the SS was formed under the command of SS Standartenführer Fortenbach. Its number was 2500 Crimean Tatars.


The publication also notes that the deportation of 1944, about which Jamala moans in her song, was far from the first in the history of the Crimean Tatar people. During the Crimean War, the Turks resettled part of the Crimean Tatars in Bulgaria, which was then part of Ottoman Empire. There they became famous for their predatory way of life and monstrous atrocities during the suppression of the uprisings of the Bulgarians. That is why, when Bulgaria was liberated by Russian troops in 1878, almost 100% of the Crimean Tatars fled to Turkey, and the largest Crimean Tatar diaspora in the world of about 150 thousand people still lives there.

Obviously, if relations between the EU and Turkey continue to deteriorate, as is happening now, then Jamala has real chances win Eurovision again. This time with the song "1856".

If you look closely at Jamala's biography, you can easily see that she changed not only her gender, but everything else. So, for example, initially she called herself a Tatar - it was easier to live in the USSR that way. Later she was renamed the Crimean Tatar. When necessary, she also called herself an Armenian - according to the nationality of her mother.


Her relations with Russia are also interesting: she took part in the festivals “ Homestead Jazz”in Moscow and St. Petersburg, took part in the celebration of the Day of the City of Moscow and even in a ceremony in memory of the attack on the USSR in Berlin.

Later, she changed her views and starred in the film "The Guide", which talks about repressions in the early 30s in the same USSR.


The film, without a doubt, is a vivid example of modern Ukrainian cinema. He talks about how, on orders from Moscow, kobza bandura players are shot in Ukraine. Unfortunate kobza players are gathered in Kharkov for the republican congress of singers folk song, and then, under the guise of being sent to the All-Union Congress in Moscow, they are loaded onto a train, taken to the forest and shot there. Interfere with Moscow's plans to destroy Ukrainian culture trying traditional friends of Ukraine - US citizens. The role of the Ukrainian singer Olga Levitskaya, the beloved of the American, was entrusted to the real Ukrainian Jamala. Despite the fact that even the Ukrainian authorities announced that there was not a single document about this mythical execution, money was allocated for the filming of the film. Moreover, a monument to non-existent victims of a fictitious execution was opened in the Kharkov region.

The film was made before the Euromaidan and the return of Crimea. Recall that the film “Unbroken” that glorifies the commander of the Bandera army, Roman Shukhevych, was filmed back in 2008. And in the Crimea in October 2011, in the village of Krasnokamenka, a solemn burial of a deserter from the Red Army, SS Obersturmführer Dengiz Dagji. All these facts testify that Ukraine was steadily moving towards the creation of a nationalist state, regardless of Russia's actions in Crimea.

In 2014, Jamala strongly condemned the decision of her compatriots to join Russia, and wept a lot about the fate of the unfortunate people suffering under the heel of Russian invaders. However, she went to meet the year 2015 precisely to the occupiers - to a corporate party at the Red Fox residence at Rosa Khutor near Sochi.

Obviously, singing there contributed to the improvement of her material condition, although it did not correspond to the views she proclaimed.

Interesting changes have also taken place with the political views of Jamala. In October 2009, she speaks at the congress of the Party of Regions, where she was nominated as a candidate for the presidency of Ukraine Victor Yanukovich. Later, in television program“The Truth of Roman Skrypnyk,” when asked by the host if she would sing a song at a rally organized by President Yanukovych, she answered in the affirmative and stated that the elected president should be loved, as US citizens do in relation to their president.

However, in December 2013, she appeared at Euromaidan and announced that she supported all actions leading to the overthrow of President Yanukovych.
No luck with Jamala and the leadership of Eurovision, which supported her claims that the winning song "1944" is not political. However, after returning to Ukraine after the victory, Jamala said exactly the opposite. Interestingly, the organizers of Eurovision did not respond properly to this.

It becomes obvious that in order to win Eurovision, you need to sing an anti-Russian song, to get Nobel Prize in literature, one must write Russophobic works, and to receive the Nobel Peace Prize, one only needs to bomb five or six states.

Jamal - Ukrainian singer and actress of Crimean Tatar-Armenian origin, since 2016 People's Artist of Ukraine. The singer performs in musical genres jazz, soul, funk, folk, pop and electro. In addition, Jamala has repeatedly become a participant in opera productions.

Jamala represented Ukraine at the international music competition"Eurovision-2016". The second attempt to perform at a prestigious competition turned out to be.

Jamal - creative pseudonym(the initial letters of the singer's last name), her real name is Susanna Jamaladinova. The future singer was born on August 27, 1983 in a small town in Kyrgyzstan. The singer's childhood and teenage years were spent in Malorechensky, not far from Alushta.

Jamala is a Crimean Tatar by her father and an Armenian by her mother. Her great-grandmother and children were deported from the Crimea in May 1944, but the singer's father always wanted to return to his historical homeland - he succeeded in this by cunning. In an interview, Susanna Dzhamaladinova said that in the 1980s in Crimea there was an unspoken ban on the sale of real estate to relatives of deported Tatars. And her family found good house, and in 1986 they issued it on maiden name mothers: for this, the parents had to fictitiously divorce.


Jamala's parents, like many residents of the resort village, were engaged in the tourism business - they have a private boarding house near Alushta. The singer's mother played the piano beautifully and often accompanied the soloists during her pregnancy. Perhaps that is why Jamala sang at the age of one and a half - it was in the nursery group. In general, she developed rapidly: at nine months old, the baby learned to swim, and at the age of nine she already knew for sure that she would become a singer.

The girl studied at a music school, participated in many children's competitions. She won the "Children's Rain" contest and, as the winner, recorded an album, songs from which were often played on the Crimean radio.

Loving parents did not want their daughter to become a professional musician, but they did not dissuade her either. At the age of 14, Jamala entered a music school in Simferopol. In class, she studied classical and opera music, and after classes in the basement she played in her own jazz group, Tutti.


At the age of 17, Jamala entered the National Academy of Music in Kyiv. Selection committee did not want to accept the girl until she heard her range of four octaves. Jamala was the best on the course, she dreamed of solo career at Milan's LaScala. Maybe this would have happened if not for her passion for jazz and experiments in this direction.

Music

Jamala's creative biography began in childhood. The debut of the singer big stage took place at the age of 15. Then there were performances at European, Russian and Ukrainian competitions, victories, prestigious awards and special prizes. Once a demo version of Jamala's performance on jazz festival in Italy heard the famous Ukrainian choreographer Elena Kolyadenko. She offered the singer the main role in the musical "Pa" and advised her to participate in the "New Wave".

Susanna Jamaladinova prepared for the festival in Jurmala in 2009 for a long time, at the same time a creative pseudonym appeared. The singer passed the Kiev selection, then Moscow. From the first performance, she loudly declared herself. After the performance of the song "Little Son" she gave the contestant a standing ovation.

After the festival, the singer gave two solo concerts in the Ukrainian capital, took part in many television programs. Her tour schedule was tight and tight.

In mid-2009, Jamala was invited to the main part in the opera Spanish Hour. The following winter, she sang in an opera performance on the theme of Bondiana - then her voice was admired English actor.

In the same year, the singer released her debut album, which included compositions written by her. On March 9, 2013, Jamala's second studio album "All or Nothing" was released. And in 2015, the singer presented the album Podikh, the first album with a non-English title. The disc includes songs written by Jamala independently and in collaboration: "Promise", "Sister's Lullaby", "More", "Drifting Apart" and others.

"Eurovision-2016"

Five years later, Jamala again participated in the national selection for Eurovision from Ukraine. The singer says that her father supported her with all his heart. He specially went to his grandfather and said that Jamala had written a song that would definitely win. The first semi-final of the Ukrainian casting took place on February 6, 2016, the second semi-final took place a week later - according to the results of these selections, five contestants made it to the final.

In the final of the competition, the singer performed the song "1944" on English language. In one of the interviews, she said that the song is dedicated to the memory of her ancestors, great-grandmother Nazylkhan, who was deported from the Crimea in May 1944. The woman never returned to her native Crimea.

The final was held on February 21, 2016 at live two TV channels of Ukraine at once. The jury members -, Ruslana and - had to determine the winner. Points from 1 to 6 they exhibited collegially. Jamala received 5 points, losing to The Hardkiss. But the audience, who cast their votes for Jamala, also had to vote.

The singer admitted that participation in the competition was not easy for her - it's easier to give several concerts. This time the final was open, so the contestants could follow the voting process.


Jamala won the Eurovision 2016, which took place in May in Sweden. According to audience voting, became the leader, but the outcome of the competition was decided by the jury, which gave a low rating to the number Russian singer. As a result, Lazarev was only in 3rd place.

As the semi-finals approached, the singer began to make semi-political statements. In an interview with Reuters, Jamala spoke about some kind of Russian provocation and urged society "not to let Russia spoil Eurovision." What kind of provocation in question, the artist did not specify, but asked the Ukrainians to be careful. At the same time, the Russian participant of Eurovision did not even get into the competition. The disabled singer was unable to cross the border due to her performance in Crimea.

Jamala (Susanna Jamaladinova) is a Ukrainian singer who won the Eurovision Song Contest 2016 with the song "1944". Her music combines the features of jazz, rhythm and blues and ethnics, and her rich lyric-dramatic soprano makes each composition unique.

Childhood and Jamala's family

The girl was born in Kyrgyzstan, where her great-grandmother, a Crimean Tatar, fled after the deportation of the long-suffering people from the peninsula. Later, the family returned to their homeland, to the Crimea, where Susanna spent her childhood in the village of Malorechenskoye near Alushta.


Her parents are musicians: her father, Alim Aiyarovich Jamaladinov, graduated from a conducting school, and her mother, Galina Mikhailovna Tumasova, sang beautifully and taught at a music school. It was she who noticed that the voice of a three-year-old daughter somehow intoned in a special way - when Susanna sang children's songs, everyone froze in amazement.


Already at the age of 9, a talented girl recorded an album with cover versions of popular children's songs. To the amazement of the sound engineer, it took her only one hour. The girl managed to perform 12 songs one after another without making a single mistake. For such an achievement, her mother gave Susanna a Barbie doll.


The girl went to music school Alushta, where she mastered the piano. After graduation, she became a student music school the city of Simferopol (specialty "Opera vocal").


After graduation, Susanna continued musical education at the Kyiv National Academy of Music. Being the best student on the course, the girl dreamed of professionally performing opera arias and performing in legendary opera La Scala. However, later she became more interested in experiments with ethnic oriental music and jazz tunes.

The beginning of the career of the singer Jamala

From the age of 15, the singer has repeatedly taken part in song festivals and competitions: Ukrainian, Russian, European, often taking top places. After performing at a competition for young jazz performers, where she became the owner of a special Dodge-2001 award, she was noticed by choreographer Elena Kolyadenko, who recognized the talent of an aspiring singer and invited her to her musical Pa.

Therefore, soon the audience saw the girl on stage along with the ballet “Freedom” participating in the production. According to many critics, the velvety depth of Susanna Jamaladinova's voice fascinated more than the complex movements of the dancers.

Jamala on the "New Wave"

However turning point in the career of the singer was a victory in youth competition"New wave-2006". Susanna, who performed under the pseudonym Jamala (her stage name is formed from the first syllables of her surname), literally “teared” the audience with her powerful voice and brilliant improvisation. She sang three songs: the folk song "Vershe Miy, Vershe", a playful composition own composition"Mama's Boy" and a track by the British group "Propellerheads" called "History Repeating". Ironically, the compere of the competition was Sergey Lazarev, who lost to a Ukrainian at Eurovision 7 years later.

Jamala - History Repeating (New Wave 2009)

The victory instantly made Jamala the new "star" of Ukraine. Soon after the triumph, she gave a series of concerts in Kyiv and other cities of Ukraine and Russia. In 2009, the girl was invited to the opera "Spanish Hour", and in 2010 she was invited to an opera production based on the "Bondiana".


At the same time, the girl broke off professional relations with Elena Kolyadenko. They had serious disagreements about creative plans singers. According to Jamala, Elena demanded to perform songs exclusively in Russian, as well as to record duets with popular Russian artists. The singer did not want to limit herself to pop music - she was interested in expressing herself in soul and jazz, in classics and blues.


Inspired by the victory at the New Wave, Jamala decided to try her hand at another equally popular contest - Eurovision, but did not pass qualifying round, losing to another Ukrainian, Mika Newton. The jury questioned the fairness of Mika's victory, but Jamala said that she would not re-participate in the selection.


Instead, the girl spent all her creative efforts on recording her debut album "For Every Heart", which was released in the spring of 2011. It included 12 new compositions and 3 songs performed by Jamala on the New Wave in 2009. In 2012, the singer became the winner of the Stars in the Opera show, paired with Ukrainian vocalist Vlad Pavlyuk.
