The drums are calling us to battle. Guitar inspires hope. And the violin stirs up the memory, reminding of what was not achieved or received in life. It is also very important what words are set to music. Tatyana Ruzavina's voice is not loud. When she sings a seemingly simple song in a duet with her husband, the audience in the hall freezes and catches every word.
It's time to become
The attraction to music and singing does not appear suddenly. This requires appropriate conditions. Tatyana Ruzavina was born into this world in an ordinary Soviet family on October 11, 1952. The provincial city of Tambov lived at a measured pace. Citizens fought for the harvest. They worked in factories and factories. They gave birth and raised children. The girl's biography could have developed in a completely different way. From an early age, Tanya heard her relatives and friends sing songs. Gathered on a day off at the table and - "the steppe, but the steppe all around …" - began one of the elders.
Nobody instilled love for music and singing in the child. But no one resisted when she began to sing along with the adults. It is not surprising that Tatiana entered the local music school in the piano class and successfully graduated from it. This was in 1971. At that time, on stage and in television programs, compositions performed by vocal and instrumental ensembles were already in full swing. Ruzavina was already seriously thinking about her vocal career and decided to get a specialized education at the Creative Workshop of Pop Art in Moscow.
After graduating in 1973, Ruzavina tried her hand at different sites. In a short time she was appreciated as a performer of a wide range. In the film of the legendary director Mark Zakharov, the song "Ah, these are the conditions" sounded, which was perfectly performed by Tatiana. We can say with good reason that after such a presentation, the singer became famous. After a while she was invited to work at VIA "Nadezhda". And it was the finger of fate.
Family duo
Another soloist, Sergei Tayushev, worked in the Nadezhda ensemble. After a short period of time, between Tatiana and Sergei, a relationship began, which grew into true love. In 1980, two talented people decided to combine their creativity, and thus a vocal duet was formed. On the stage, each of them already had a certain rating. But when Ruzavina and Tayushev began performing together, their popularity became nationwide. Spectators in the most remote corners of the country sang along to the performers when “Station Minutka” or “Autumn Melody” sounded on TV.
This is how not only the creative, but also the personal life of the vocalists proceeded under the touring trips and work in recording studios. Even in those distant 80s, such a phenomenon in show business was rare. The husband and wife managed, were able, contrived not to destroy the relationship. Moreover, their joint life path serves as a clear example for the younger generation. Of course, years and memorable dates flicker like trains in the steppe. But every day is full of favorite work and communication with loved ones.
Already grown up and long ago became an independent son, who was named, like his father, Sergei. From an early age, they took him with them on tours and performances. And it is not surprising that Tayushev Jr. inherited family traditions. His musical projects are being implemented in a serious way. Today, the son invites parents to participate in his plans and ideas. But the duet Ruzavina-Tayushev is still too early to live with memories.
