Biography of Samira Jafarova
Samir Dzhafarov: Now my hobby is the exact sciences of the People's Artist of Azerbaijan Samir Jafarov belongs to the category of people who, regardless of success and popularity, continue to work tirelessly, opening new horizons. Such quality is inherent only in large professionals. It is no coincidence that the hall is always full at concerts with his participation, and the true connoisseur of art, leaving the building of the Azerbaijani State Academic Opera and Ballet Theater, remains under impression for a long time.
Will the respected reader believe that the hero of today's article, from early childhood, having excellent vocal data, in the adolescence saw himself in a completely different role ... The future singer was born in a family where they knew a lot about music. His father and brothers, like himself, sang perfectly. However, they decided to boast of the purity of voice only in the circle of relatives and friends, not even dreaming of engaging in singing professionally.
Samir, who was always attracted to the exact sciences, did not think about this. The boy dreamed of becoming a famous physicist or mathematician, and in adolescence the vocals were only entertainment for him. Samir often participated in school events, sang at weddings. And Samir with pleasure fulfilled their request. Why Tar? Yes, because Gadir Jafarov himself loved to pick up this national instrument and, leading on strings, sing inspirationally.
Despite the successes in a music school, Samir feels that no matter how he tunes in to play on containers, his soul is torn to something else. Gadir Muallim immediately realized that the son would go far if he has been developing the development of a voice.
At his insistence, the young man, barely graduating from a music school, leaves his native Nakhchivan and goes to Baku to go to the A.'s gymnasium named after two years, he polishes his vote in the vocal class, making amazing successes. In the year, as a student of the gymnasium, Samir becomes the leading role in the Azerbaijani children's opera Octay Rajabov “Good and Evil”, which later entered the Golden Fund of National Television.
At the end of the gymnasium, Samir realizes that a physicist or mathematics can be forgotten about the specialty. A kind of revolution occurs in the soul of a young man: the exact sciences with which he wanted to devote the future, give way to music - his recent hobby. By the way, they have a connection with music, because before the appearance of notes, musical signs were designated with the help of mathematical ”Samir makes a choice: he will become a professional singer.
Why not? He has all the qualities necessary for this: congenital talent, pure voice, perseverance, which allows to overcome stages at the stage, and most importantly - endless love and devotion to the beloved business. So, the lot is abandoned. Samir perfectly understands that the path will be long and far from easy, and in order to overcome it, it is necessary to continue to study, accumulating skills.
And he enters the Institute of Arts at the Faculty of Theater and Cinema. It was there that he is noticed by the People's Artist of Azerbaijan Siavush Kerimi. Hearing the student’s magnificent tenor on one of the auditions, the composer invites him to join the youth group at the Rafik Babaev recording studio. Practice has borne fruit. In M Samir, Jafarov becomes a laureate of vocal youth contest in Baku.
In the same year, one of the iconic events in the life of the singer occurred ... A concert dedicated to the summer of the Autonomous Republic was held in Nakhchivan. There were many senior statesmen, and most importantly, the national leader of the Azerbaijani people Heydar Aliyev. A little nervous, Samir, who, as the reader had already guessed, was one of the participants in the concert - goes on stage and begins to sing.
The fascinated audience, holding his breath, listens to every sound. The performance is over. Spectators applaud. Samir Jafarov is bowing and goes backstage, pleased with the fact that he could overcome the excitement. He later learns that his performance liked his national leader, who later did not remain indifferent to the future fate of the young tenor. The state took me under its guardianship, thanks to which I continued my studies at the conservatory and repeatedly took part in concerts abroad.
In the year, I was honored to represent Azerbaijan at the International Vocalist Competition in Almaty, where I took second place. A year later, I was sent to Moscow, to study at the Opera Center of Galina Vishnevskaya ”in parallel with his study, Samir reins his skill, speaking at concerts in Russia and other countries. He becomes an indispensable participant in the events held in Moscow at the initiative of the Azerbaijan Embassy in the Russian Federation.
Having finished the cut of his own talent, the singer returns to his homeland, setting himself a noble goal: to work for the good of the Fatherland, which helped him gain valuable knowledge. Having become the soloist of the Azerbaijani State Academic Opera and Ballet Theater, S. Dzhafarov performed many roles, the first of which was the party of the Duke in Giuseppe Verdi Rigoletto in m.It was in that year that Tenor was awarded the title of Honored Artist of the Republic.
People have become more interested in classical music, and our hall is always full. Of course, this is the great merit of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation. In this regard, I would like to thank the president of the Foundation Mehriban Aliyev, whose active activity in the field of art gives its fruits, instilling interest in the beautiful Azerbaijanis ”in M tenor became the laureate of the international competition Muslim Magomayev in Moscow.
And three years later he was awarded the honorary title of People's Artist of Azerbaijan. In April of the same year, he was awarded the presidential award. Today Samir Muallim, being a teacher at the People’s Vocal Department of the Azerbaijan National Conservatory, shares his knowledge with students, managing to prepare for foreign tour and rehearse the parties for new operas, one of which is Figrate Amirov.
For Tenor, this is a good experience, it was not without reason that this party was performed by such luminaries as Rashid Beibudov and Lutfiyar Imanov ”and finally I would like to note the fact that today in Europe in the field of classical music a large number of our students are educated. We hope that, having returned to their homeland, they, like the hero of the story, be able to continue the glorious tradition of familiarization with the opera in Azerbaijan.
