Well, generation of the 80s? Remember our youth? When all the TVs and loudspeakers blared Hi-Fi songs. And we sang along, feeling carefree and happy.

Youth has passed, the popularity of the group has waned. Let's remember them: the very first composition of the Hi-Fi group, albums and songs. For which girls and boys born in the 80s went crazy.

How did it all start?

Somewhere in distant Siberia lived two friends: Pasha and Eric. The guys were daring, very smart and loved to experiment. Which of them came up with the idea to create a musical group, this is unknown to us. Judging by the fact that the producer was Eric Chanturia, the idea was his.

Without thinking twice, the comrades came up with simple scenery, wrote songs and began to think about the team. In this regard, the composition of the Hi-Fi group is unique. Its members met on the set of the first video.

The memorable event happened in August 1998. 20 years ago, as we see. Then a video was filmed forsong "Not given". Filming took place in St. Petersburg. The first squad lasted longer than the others.

Pioneers

Recall the first composition of the Hi-Fi group. This is a beautiful model Oksana Oleshko, a native of Novosibirsk, Mitya Fomin and now Timofey Pronkin, who is in the group.

The guys, as mentioned above, met on the set of the first video. It was difficult to get used to each other, but over time, the difficulties passed. Beauty Oksana charmed male fans of the group. Interestingly, for a girl, participation in a group as a singer has become something new. She is a ballerina, danced with the group "Na-Na", Oleg Gazmanov and many other celebrities.

Mitya Fomin is a failed doctor. Since childhood, he was fond of singing, dreamed of becoming an artist. But the guy had another hobby - he loved animals. He told his parents that he would become a veterinarian. In those days, this profession was mainly associated with rural animals. Parents sent Mitya to the medical school according to the principle: if you want to treat, be a doctor.

The guy didn't turn out to be a doctor. He dropped out of high school and pursued a stage career.

Timofey Pronkin is an outstanding personality. A native Muscovite who worked in a gay strip club. Where he met his wife. Just do not think that his wife is a man. No, this is an ordinary woman. The couple has two children. And Tima is the only one in the Hi-Fi group who works in it to this day.

Decomposition

Five years have passed. The group was at the peak of popularity when Oleshko announced that she was leaving her. Young womanleft the world of show business. Her priorities changed: now the family was in the first place.

Oksana got married and devoted herself to family life. And the producer had to think about who to replace her with.

Double two

The second soloist of the Hi-Fi group was a professional model. After the appearance of Tatyana Tereshina, the video "Seventh Petal" was shot. Neither the song nor the colorful production, which starred more than 20 people, received much popularity.

In 2004, under Tatyana, the group became one of the most popular and in demand in Russia. And a year later Tereshina left the project.

Third chance

It took a while for Tatyana to find a replacement. This time Ekaterina Lee joined the Hi-Fi group. We know her as Katya Li from the Factory group.

The girl did not stay long in the project. With her, only three clips were released. In 2010, Ekaterina left the group. But Mitya Fomin left even earlier. It was a blow to all the participants, they didn't want to let the guy go. Nevertheless, Mitya managed to make a brilliant solo career.

The guy was replaced by Kirill Kolgushkin. But Pavel Yesenin, the founder of the group, did not like his voice. So Pasha had to sing himself. Until Vyacheslav Samarin appeared in the Hi-Fi group.

Another shift

Have you lost count yet? Olesya Lipchanskaya became the fourth member of Hi-Fi. She was replaced by the departed Katya Lee. Cyril immediately runs away. Moreover, this artist left the group with a scandal.

He is replaced by Vyacheslav Samarin. He stayed with the Hi-Fi group for a very short time. Came in February 2012, left in October of the same year.

What now?

Until the end of 2016, nothing was heard about the group. It would seem that this is a complete collapse. But in 2016, a new vocalist suddenly appeared. This is Marina Drozhdina. They performed together with Timofey Pronkin.

This continued until April 2018. And then it's time to shout "Hurrah!". The fact is that the first composition of the Hi-Fi group (Oksana Oleshko, Timofey Pronkin and Mitya Fomin) performed at the Olimpiysky. Fans are intrigued that the group is returning to the stage with their golden lineup.

To date, it is known that the group is preparing for the release of a new video. And on September 6 this year there was a performance on the show "Murzilki Live".

Conclusion

All good things come to an end. Our article has also come to an end. In it, we remembered the favorites of boys and girls born in the 80s. The composition of the Hi-Fi group changed several times. But we loveexactly the first version of it. He gave his fans many wonderful songs and colorful videos.

Since we are talking about nostalgia, let's remember the song that no graduation party could do without. Clip for the song "We Loved". Watch and enjoy.
