Mikhail Shufutinsky's concert will take place in Lakhta Hall in October!

Mikhail Shufutinsky is a legendary figure who needs no special introduction. His signature velvety voice with a hoarseness has long been part of the musical heritage that more than one generation has grown up on. His education as a conductor and choir director allowed him to form a unique style that can be called "Shufutinsky chanson".

The artist's creative career began in Magadan, where he performed in restaurants. The turning point was his emigration to the United States in 1981. In America, he gradually gained popularity, performing in restaurants and expanding his repertoire. However, his first steps abroad were not easy.

Shufutinsky's return to Russia in the early 90s was triumphant. His songs quickly took the top lines of the charts, and his concerts became significant events in the country's cultural life. The artist's music, full of emigrant melancholy and cheerfulness at the same time, found a response from listeners tired of the monotony of the Soviet stage. Shufutinsky brought fresh ideas and themes to Russian music. He easily finds a common language with the public, sharing stories from life and his thoughts, which makes his concerts memorable and warm. Therefore, tickets for his concert at Lakhta Hall should be purchased in advance on our website.

Shufutinsky's main hits include such compositions as "September 3", "Night Guest", "Jewish Tailor" and "Palma de Mallorca". These songs instantly won the hearts of listeners thanks to their lyricism and light irony. The combination of chanson with pop music and elements of jazz forms the artist's unique style, which is easily recognizable from the first chords. His discography includes thirty-two albums and many compilations. The experience of living abroad, especially in the United States, has noticeably affected his musical style and repertoire.

Despite the years spent abroad, Shufutinsky's popularity in Russia remains consistently high. His concerts gather full halls, and his songs are played on radio stations throughout the country. He has received many awards, including the "Chanson of the Year" award. It is interesting to note that Mikhail Zakharovich is still a citizen of the United States, where his family lives.

Shufutinsky is not just a performer; he is a symbol of an entire era in Russian music. His songs have become part of the country's cultural heritage, and his name is synonymous with quality chanson. The composition "Third of September", written by Igor Nikolaev and Igor Krutoy, became the artist's calling card.

In 1997, Mikhail wrote an autobiographical book "And here I stand at the line ...", which reveals the personal and creative aspects of his life over almost four hundred pages. In it, he describes the path from the beginning of his career to emigration and shares meetings with famous artists of the Russian stage. The book contains tactful remarks about other celebrities and is illustrated with photographs from different years in the life of Shufutinsky and other famous people.
