Bolalar also received the Tarona Award for Best Band in 2001 and 2002. Tohir Sodiqov, the long-time lead singer, occasional guitarist, songwriter and composer of Bolalar, is a Meritorious Artist of Uzbekistan. Tohir's Sodiqov's older brother Husan Sodiqov wrote or co-wrote most of the songs included in the band's earlier albums, such as the hit songs "Esingdami seni?", "Bolalar", and "Nega unday qilding sen?"
Bolalar and the Russian band Laskoviy Mai, who were an early influence on Bolalar, have often been called "the legends of the 1990s."[1] Bolalar are among the few Central Asian bands to have given concerts in the United States and to have released albums on iTunes.
History
Шаблон:Listen Tohir Sodiqov and his friends Bahodir Poʻlatov, Javohir Zokirov, and Ruslan Sharipov, who all went to Secondary School No. 41 in Tashkent, founded the band in 1989. They gained popularity in Uzbekistan after their first hit, "Bolalar", in 1989.[2] Bolalar originally consisted of Bahodir Poʻlatov, Husan Sodiqov (Tohir Sodiqov's brother), Javohir Zokirov, Nargiz Zokirova, Ruslan Sharipov, Tofik Morduxayev, Toir Odilov, and Tohir Sodiqov.
Bolalar performed to a large audience for the first time in February 1990. In December 1989, they recorded their debut album, Esingdami seni? (Do You Remember?), which was released in January 1990. The group's artistic director and composer was originally Ruslan Sharipov. Over the years, most of the original members left the band. The remaining band members occasionally perform together. Tohir Sodiqov has launched a successful solo career. He usually writes both the music and lyrics to his songs.[2]
