Both comic and dramatic pages can be found in the history of the Soviet stage. Tamara Miansarova was the first to sing a song about a black cat, which became a hit for many years. However, not everything went smoothly in her creative biography.
Starting conditions
According to folk signs, a song can be considered famous when it is sung at a festive table or in the evening on the street. For many years "Letka-Enka" was danced at weddings, and "Black Cat" was performed at youth events. Representatives of the current generation do not even know the name of the singer who sang these incendiary songs. Only older people can remember her name - this is Tamara Miansarova. She remained in the people's memory and on rare video clips as a captivatingly charming and elegant performer.
The future People's Artist of Russia was born on March 5, 1931 in an intelligent family. Parents at that time lived in the famous city of Kirovograd in Ukraine. Father served as an actor at the Odessa Drama Theater. Mother worked as an opera singer. Music and songs were always played in the house. Tamara first appeared on stage when she was four years old. Soon the head of the family left home for another woman. After that, the daughter and mother moved to Minsk, to their relatives.
Creative activity
Tamara demonstrated her vocal and musical abilities from an early age. Her mother taught her to sing and play the piano. She often took her with me to rehearsals. When it was time to study, the girl began to study in a comprehensive school and in a music school. In 1951, after hesitations and doubts, Tamara arrived in Moscow and entered the piano department of the State Conservatory. At the next All-Union competition of pop artists, she performed under the name of her husband, Miansarov. She performed and took the honorable third place.
The singer was invited as a soloist to the jazz quartet of Igor Granov. The ensemble has successfully toured the Soviet Union and abroad. In 1962, at the World Festival of Youth and Students, Miansarova won the title of laureate by performing the song "Ay-lyuli". Literally a year and a half later, the singer becomes the winner of the International Music Festival in the Polish city of Sopot. Tamara sang the song "Solar Circle". Since that time, Minasarova has become the idol of the Polish audience.
Recognition and privacy
But not everything went smoothly in the fate of Miansarova. The hostility of the official from the Ministry of Culture resulted in outright persecution. The singer was no longer invited to concerts and tours. Then she had to leave for the city of Donetsk, where she worked for more than twelve years. And only in 1996 she was awarded the title of People's Artist of Russia.
The personal life of Tamara Miansarova did not develop immediately. She officially married four times. For the past 25 years, the singer has lived under the same roof with Mark Feldman, who was her producer. Tamara Grigorievna raised and raised two children - a son and a daughter. The singer passed away in July 2017. She was buried at the Troekurovsky cemetery in Moscow.
