Biography
It can be said that the Music Project "Mirage" justifies the name received from the producer, composer and the creator. This is one of the first to then the Soviet teams who survived the numerous shifts of the compositions of vocalist. Only the voices sounded from the scene and recorded on audio casseurs remained well familiar to fans.Compound
In 1985, the talented company of musicians united in the amateur team of the "activity zone". The group performed compositions in New Vave style - unusual, not supporting the meaning of the song, as Sukhankina remembered later. The project did not exist for a long time and did not achieve popularity.
A year later, the group changed the name to the "Mirage". Together with the name, the style of execution has changed. Lytyagin, speaking as a composer, in co-authorship with Valery Sokolov, 12 songs for soloist are written. Having agreed to entry, Sukhankina sang only three of the proposed compositions, refusing to continue cooperation with participants.
The soloist dreamed of a serious career of the opera singer, and the fame of the pop star did not attract the girl. Margarita from childhood was fond of singing. After graduation in 1983, the Music and Pedagogical School entered the Conservatory. Leaving a retarded career, until 2003 was a soloist of the Bolshoi Theater, who later left on his own initiative.
Meanwhile, the inspirationator of Mirage has urged to seek a worthy replacement of the left singer. The new star was the young Natalia Gulkin. Before the fateful meeting with the "Mirage", the girl sang in the jazz studio, played the guitar, wrote songs, managed to marry and give birth to a son. But the dream of a big scene is invariably Vitala.
I introduced Gulkin with the creator of the Svetlana Razin group, which later also joined the team. At first, Natalia did not perceive the proposal seriously and has long refused to work together. Lytyagin, showing perseverance, achieved agreement, and Gulkin recorded the remaining compositions for the new record. The album in the first days after the exit became incredibly in demand, and the group received an unexpected rapid love of listeners.
Six months later, Svetlana Razin joins the participants. A certified technologist engineer, a girl worked at the plant, and his free time dedicted to music by soling in the Country group "Spring". Starting the speeches in the Mirage, finally chose the musician's field.
All-Union touring tours, anthlags at concerts and love of fans - the wave of the covered popularity soon led to the fact that in 1988 vocalists decide to leave the composition and start solo performances.
Andrei Lytyagin needed regular persons to appear on stage. Concerts went nonstop, success was necessary to support. During 1988, Kalidoscope soloist was replenished with Natalia Vetlitskaya, which starred in the first clip. For some time, Inna Smirnova worked in the project. For each singer, the team became an excellent start for a personal career.
In 1989, the saturated tour of the "Mirage" continues. Irina Saltykov appears on the scene on the face of the soloist, and then Tatyana Ovsienko. The latter hit the scene completely by chance. As part of the team, Oxienko worked as a costume, and began to protrude, urgently replacing the sick and did not come to the planned concert of the windy.
In 1990, the Creator of the Group decides to change the vocalist and at the Blue Sparkle presents a new participant - Ekaterina Boldyshev. Catherine remained the face of the musical project record long period, until 1999. True, the very popularity is somewhat lost, in 1998, touring almost minimized. The crisis of the 90s served as the cause of this.
At the beginning of the new century, Lytyagin takes an ambiguous decision on the rebirth of the collective, stating three young soloists. The musical creativity of the new stars came down mainly to the execution of old hits in the new arrangement.
Meanwhile, Natalia Gulkin and Margarita Sulankina, the stars from which the group's popularity began, united into a creative duet. Earlier not familiar singers, not having rights to use the Mirage label, act under different names. In 2005, they produce the album "just Mirage". On the record, at the concerts of the performer do not affect any composition, the rights to which belong to the Mirage group and the Fityagin composer.
Despite this, the concert activity of the duet caused a squall of claim by the Creator of the Legendary Mirage. Vocalists told in the press about threats entering their address and attempts to prevent career. In the end, the parties were reconciled, the singers began to cooperate with the former producer. And the team "Mirage" received two incarnations - "Golden voices of the Mirage Group" with well-known performers and Mirage-Junior with new people of young soloist.
Both teams received the rights to use songs, well acquaintances and favorite fans, including unchanged hits of the 90s "Music tied us", "Night comes", "I no longer", "I'm waiting for you."
In 2010, clashes and quarrels are already inside the collective between Gulkina and Sukhankina. Confrontation ended with Natalia's departure from the group. Her place was taken by a familiar to the public Razin. Cooperation has exhausted itself during the year, and on the official website of the singer in December 2011 published information on the next parting with the "Mirage".
In 2016, the copyright holder of the label of the Mirage Group Andrei Liatigin passed the authority of the Jam Studio, which was engaged in the release of albums since 1994. The leadership broke the contract with Margarita Sulankina, having considered the participation of the singer not responding to the creative idea of the team.
Music
Andrei Lyatyagin was distinguished to the use of phonogram records at concerts. Such a choice is not surprising, because there are dozens of compositions "Mirage" at the peak of tour activity in the country. The voice that sounded from the speakers invariably belonged to Margarita Sulankina or Natalia Gulkina, but the characters on the stage changed from time to time.The first album recorded by two vocalists served as a phonogram for many soloist groups. Visitors of concerts did not know about it, yes, perhaps, they were particularly and did not worry the fact of the fulfillment of favorite songs is not live.
For the recording of the second album, the producer specially invited Margarita Sulankin, despite the fact that Gulkin sang in the group on the rights of the official soloist. Lytyagin considered that Natalia need to send fervor to concerts and tour, and the Vocal Sukhankina will be suitable for writing in the studio.
The participant who singer on the speeches of the group was live, was Ekaterina Boldyshev. The singer possessed a truly strong voice. This allowed a soloist to work on the scene on conscience, although the number of concerts reached 30 per month. He worked on the stage of Catherine in a pair with Alexei Gorbashov, a collective guitarist.
Group "Mirage" now
After the transfer of rights to the group in 2016, the "JEM" and the termination of the contract with the Sukankina official and the only soloist is Ekaterina Boldyshev. Guitarist Alexey Gorbashov, as in the 90s, also enters the golden composition. In addition to them, the participants remain the drummer Andrei Grishin and the keyboard player Sergey Krylov.
In 2017, another scandal broke out with the author of the texts of the teams of the team Valery Sokolov. The poet stated that the official permission for the execution of hits was obtained only by Margarita Sukhankina and Svetlana Razin. Soon the term license on the lyrics has expired, the next litigation followed. The result of confrontation was the execution of hits of the 90s as a team of "Mirage" and Margarita Sulankina.
Another star of pop estrad Gulkina Group compositions does not use in creativity. According to the singer, execution on the scene of these hits is prohibited for it.
In 2018, the former vocalists of the Mirage group are known to the listeners, build a solo career, give concerts and write down new songs. The tour of the cities of Russia does not stop the Mirage group itself in the revived composition. The team regularly takes part in the national concert programs of stars of the 90s.
