Modern musicians cope with this task quite successfully. One of them is the composer and arranger Shuhrat Zokirov. His music evokes patriotic feelings in people and inspires to noble acts. His songs “Vatan”, “Navruz”, “Shodiyona”, “Laylom”, “Toma-toma”, “Eslanar”, “Olis Yulduzim” embody spiritual qualities of our people.

“Thanks to care and attention of the President Islam Karimov to the musical art our variety art develops on the basis of national traditions,” says Shuhrat Zokirov. “It seems to me that life is like melody, while people are its performers. In order to create a good song it is necessary to have a good composer. Arrangement can not force the effect of music to a person.”

The creativity of Shuhrat Zokirov testifies his keen interest in music. In his childhood he attended the ensemble “Bulbulcha”, directed by the People’s Artist of Uzbekistan Shermat Yormatov. Then, he grasped the bases of musical art in the Uspenskiy Music School, and later - in the State Conservatory of Uzbekistan. Special role in advancing the young composer’s talent belongs to the Honored Workers of Art of Uzbekistan Dilorom Omonullayeva and Ofeliya Yusupova.

In 1997, while improving his skills Shuhrat Zokirov took master class on piano from the French Professor Bernard Ringayzen in Weimar, Germany.

The young composer has participated and won in lots of musical competitions. Since 2000, he is a constant participant of the festivities devoted to the celebration of Independence Day and Navruz.

His song “Bir Kam Dunyo” (All in the World Is rather) turned popular with the people that formed in them a positive glance on vital tests and difficulties. In 2006, this product was recognized as the best soundtrack of the year by the Forum of Culture and Arts of Uzbekistan Foundation.

Shuhrat Zokirov’ song “Buhoroga Qaytdi Laylaklar” (Storks Returned to Bukhoro) performed by the winner of the “Nihol” Prize Yulduz Turdiyeva at the opening ceremony of the monument “Ancient and Eternal Bukhoro” that has been erected in the ancient city in 2010, has become an embodiment of love and fidelity for the Home country, symbol of peace, well-being and belief in the great future of the country.
