"Tender May": the composition of the group of the 80's, 90's (photo)

The first "boy's" band, which went to the USSR grounds with a lyrical repertoire for teenagers - "Tender May". The composition of the group (first) was recruited from the youths in Orenburg S. Kuznetsov.

Need to create a group

The success of the ensemble "Affectionate May", the composition of the group which included mainly high school students of boarding school No. 2, is due to several factors.

First, a social necessity. The country was on the verge of rethinking important human emotions. Everything that used to be an interdiction (love, sex, romantic relationships) began to come to the fore. The repertoire consisted mainly of songs about unhappy love, rejected expectations, misunderstanding and personal disasters.

Secondly, the ease of filing. The epoch of serious songs about life comes to an end, in return there is a pop direction for discos and parties. In fashion, an easy perception of music, where you do not need to reflect on the meaning of life, but only be in emotional resonance with the composition. Prior to "Laskovoi May" such an experiment was with the bands "Mirage" and "Combination". But they sang for the older generation, and the young band performed the teenage repertoire.

Third, the influence on the modern culture of that time of Western countries. After the fall of the "Iron Curtain" Soviet teenagers saw in the songs about love a symbol of freedom and emancipation. Fashion includes clothes, hairstyles and music from America and Europe. All these factors allowed the group to rise to such a pinnacle of glory that no one after them could conquer.

History of group creation

Sergei Kuznetsov worked in Orenburg at boarding school No. 2 as the head of a music group. On December 6, 1986, the ensemble gave the first performance at the school. The song "White roses", which later became the visiting card of the group, did not make a big impression on the students. A school management, including the director Tazikenova, spoke about the composition is strongly negative.

But in the summer of the same year, the producer Andrei Razin is on the stage. He immediately takes the guys under his wing. Shatunov and Serkov are transferred to the school for gifted children, they officially register the group, and also the "Lasky May" studio is opened on its base. Composition of the 1989 group:

  • The main soloist is Yu. Shatunov (vocals, saxophone).
  • The second soloists and vocal, the team leaders: K. Pakhomov, A. Razin.
  • Vocals: Y. Gurov, V. Kulikov, A. Gurov, A. Tokarev, O. Krestovsky, Y. Barabash, V. Shurochkin.
  • Musicians: R. Isangulov (keyboardist), S. Kuznetsov (author, composer, keyboardist), I. Igoshin (drummer), I. Anisimov (keyboard player), A. Burda (keyboard player), S. Serkov (lighting design).

What was the reason for such a large number of participants in the team "Tender May"? The composition of the group was divided and the musicians traveled to several cities simultaneously. In 1989, composer S. Kuznetsov left the group and created a new collective called "Mama". In his place invite V. Boyko. In 1992, the soloist Shatunov interrupts the contract with the group and leaves for Germany, after which the disintegration of the collective became inevitable. In 2009, "Tender May" in a new composition gives performances, and has a certain success, thanks to nostalgia and memories of the days of youth.

Formation of the composition went until the last day. Basically it was a set of musicians for the tour of the ensemble. The form of selection was varied. The participants brought their friends to audition with personal recommendations, Razin invited friends of musicians, and also went to music schools in search of talents. As a result, the group was replenished with new keyboardists (M. Sukhomlinov, A. Jurgaitis, V. Polupanov).

After Shatunov

In 2009, the fashion for the songs of the 80's went. Andrei Razin creates a group with an old repertoire, where he himself performs the famous "White Roses" and other compositions.

"Tender May" (composition of the band in 2009):

  • S. Lenyuk (drummer).
  • S. Serkov (second soloist).
  • A. Kucherov.
  • A. Razin (soloist).

Folk love

In the history of Russian show business, no one is able to repeat the short, but fantastic success of the ensemble "Affectionate May". The composition of the group (the photos of the participants were in every house) changed, despite this, artists were always carried on their hands. The country first encountered a frenzy of fanatical attitudes towards the musicians of young schoolgirls. At each concert, an ambulance was on duty, because the spectators lost consciousness. The most diligent students threw their underwear on the stage. It was after Shatunov's speeches that methods of exporting artists secretly from the public were developed.
