The birth of pop and rock music in our country is associated with the name of the ensemble "Merry Fellows". Their musical compositions gave way to a new generation of rock musicians in the USSR. For a long time of the ensemble's work, many musicians and performers took part in its work, among which was the hero of our story Alexei Aleshin, a singer and violinist. For six years as part of the ensemble, the musician became a famous vocalist and won the love of the public. The brightest period of his work is associated with the group "Araks" - the legend of Russian rock. But first things first.

Biography of singer Alexei Alyoshin

The real name of the singer is Alyoshin Anatoly Alexandrovich. Unfortunately, we could not find information about why the name Alexei often appears along with the real name.

Aleshin was born in Moscow on March 15, 1949. Since childhood, Alexei's life has been connected with music. Being a gifted child, he entered a music school on his own initiative and graduated brilliantly.violin class. After graduating from a secondary school, while studying at an aviation technical school, Alexei Aleshin performed in the Wind of Change group, first as a violinist, then as a vocalist. To improve his professional level, he entered the music school. Gnesins.

Soon the Wind of Change group disbanded. Alexey, having served in the army, began to look for another group to show his musical talent. The ensemble "Merry Fellows" became for him a real school of skill. Alexey proved to be a brilliant vocalist. The record "Love is a huge country", recorded with the participation of Alexei Aleshin, became a mega-popular hit.

Star stage in the work of A. Alyoshin

In 1979, Alexei moved to the legendary Moscow group "Araks". By that time, the musical group, which began its activities on dance floors and underground concerts, had already gained fame by participating in the bold productions of Mark Zakharov, especially in the play “The Life and Death of Joaquin Murietta”. Violinist and singer Alexei Alyoshin strengthened the group. "Araks" with its original repertoire and boundless capacity for work, has become the most sought-after group on the Soviet stage. Both on small stages and on huge stadiums - everywhere the band demonstrated high professionalism and devotion to rock music.

Commitment to hard rock dictated to the musicians the appropriate image and lifestyle characteristic of all rockers in the world, which attracted attention and was not liked by the officialsfrom culture. In 1982, the authorities began to disband many bands with a pronounced hard rock form, including the Araks.

Unimagining life without music, Alyoshin organized the semi-legal group "Stayer", which brilliantly played somewhat old-fashioned professional hard rock. But the star of many rock bands sank when a new idol of the country appeared on the stage - "Tender May". Alexei was never able to adapt to pop music that was alien to him, and in 1990 he left for the USA for eleven years.

Years Abroad

The period of life abroad turned into a kind of new school for Aleshin. Joint activities with New York rock musicians gave him invaluable experience and taught him a completely different work with sound. Having rethought a lot, Alexei developed his new style in America, which he calls a symbiosis of Russian songs and modern hard rock. After returning, Aleshin worked for several years with the musicians of the former composition of the Araks group, giving successful concerts throughout the country. But the revival of "Araks" did not give the expected result. Not wanting to deal with retro music anymore, Aleshin is gathering a new group, which includes young talents. The musicians create a new program, work carefully and professionally.

The unique manner of performance, the original timbre of the voice, the highest level of performance are the components of his success. The artist has something to say to hisaudience and she looks forward to his performances.
