Azerbaijan's incredibly talented singer Muslim Magomayev would
have turned 80 years old this year. His timeless songs continue to
give the audience goosebumps.
Fans of his music gathered outside a Muslim Magomayev statue in
Moscow on August 17 to pay tribute to the prominent singer,
Azernews reports, citing Azertac .
Head of the Humanitarian Programs Department of the Heydar
Aliyev Foundation's branch in Russia Tamilla Ahmadova spoke at the
solemn event and noted the singer's valuable contributions to the
enrichment of the Azerbaijani musical culture.
He reminded that Muslim Magomayev called Azerbaijan his 'father'
and Russia his 'mother' and that the talent that won the hearts of
millions of listeners was the product of the centuries-old cultures
of the two peoples.
The representative of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation said that the
statue of the world-famous singer was inaugurated in Baku's Seaside
National Park with the participation of President of Azerbaijan
Ilham Aliyev and First Lady Mehriban Aliyeva.
People's Artist of Russia Zaur Tutov noted that Muslim
Magomayev's great legacy has made millions of people happy.
'This is great, real, pure, heartfelt art. There are enough
beautiful, skilled, and loud vocalists, but our genius Muslim
Magomayev performed with fantastic grace. Muslim Magometovich has
done more with his creativity in terms of bringing together the
hearts of many politicians and millions of people of different
nationalities and religions,' he said.
Tayara Valimatova, the author of the book 'My Eternal Love'
dedicated to Muslim Magomayev, shared her memories of meetings with
the genius singer and his spouse Tamara Sinyavskaya.
'The choice of the book title by Tamara Sinyavskaya is of
particular importance to me. The novel 'Eternal Love' was published
with 500 copies. I distributed all the books as a gift to true fans
of the genius of the 20th century Orpheus,' said the writer.
Fans of Muslim Magomayev's work performed songs from his
repertoire in front of his monument and shared their memories of
the singer.
Notably, the singer's birthday is also widely celebrated in
