is a completely original Belarusian guitarist whose sincere work is unique throughout the territory of the former USSR. Live instrumental music naturally intertwines with electronic effects, creating its own emotional world. The sound, like a living wave, gently strengthens in the mind, causing the listener to admire and sincere pleasure, which is unlikely to be forgotten.
Interest in the inner world of the creator of musical worlds, as well as in the creative path that the author went through before he appeared on the stage, prompts us to tell the biography of the string genius.
Mom's gift
Valery was born in the west of Belarus in the city of Grodno. Here begins his biography - he received a school education and here for the first time he touched the guitar that his mother gave him. A start was made and the fingers of a talented boy from that time began to look for ways to revive guitar chords. Valery Didula's teachers could not restrain their delight and surprise at such an unbridled craving for guitar art.
Spending 8 hours playing, the boy was also keenly interested in the string idols of our time, trying to learn as much as possible about guitar skills. In adolescence for Didula, the real revelation was the discovery of guitar effects that allow you to transform the sound into completely new musical patterns. We can say that with the beginning of the experiments, the original style of the future legendary guitarist began to emerge, which touched the hearts of millions of listeners with his work. Like a man possessed, he crossed a guitar sound with an electronic one. And soon, the first shoots of his fanatical work began to break through. And all sorts of gadgets, pickups, sensors and other equipment have become constant companions of the guitar virtuoso.
Valery Didula never retreated from his destiny and his first professional performance took place in the composition of the vocal and instrumental group Scarlet Dawns, popular in Soviet Belarus. The ensemble gave concerts wherever possible! Cities, villages, collective farms and other settlements for the first time heard the play of the third guitarist, though as part of a group, but at the same time a full-fledged member of it. The folk style of playing was popular among the countryside listeners, but it was time for the band to fall apart. The reason was the collapse of the USSR, with which new horizons opened up for any activity. Some musicians opened their own business, others left the country, but Didula and here he did not leave his love for music and continued to work with his guitar work.
In the difficult nineties, the musician managed not only to get into the White Dew group, which was an order of magnitude higher in professionalism than the Scarlet Dawns, but also to acquire the skills of a sound engineer, whose position in the group was entrusted to Didula. The performance of the folk songs of Poland, Ukraine and Belarus sounded in the style of "folk" and this added its own special flavor to the work of the guitarist. Later, in his solo performances, folk music repeatedly permeates his compositions, which are intertwined with guitar and electronic sound. It takes the listener on a whole new kind of musical journey.
"White Dew" at that time were in demand not only in the territory of the former union, but also in Western Europe. Having traveled around Poland, Germany, Italy, France, Switzerland, Spain and other countries, the guitarist caught another sound, which harmoniously formed the basis of his work. It was flamenco! The Spanish energy embedded in the guitar rhythms and passages made the musician leave the band at the end of the tour and study a new musical trend for the guitar genius.
The birth of a star
In 2000, the musician finally acquired a fully formed style, which sharply distinguished him from the usual, similar guitar masters. Belarusian-Polish folk motifs, intertwined with house arrangements and hot Spanish flamenco, began to fill the halls with people and the first professional recordings appeared. Gathering a group of musical like-minded people, Valery Didula began to give concerts in Ukraine, Belarus, Poland and Spain, delighting the audience with his unusual and charged playing of his guitar.
Of course, much of the guitarist's progress was made by his musical guardians. Minsk businessman Igor Bruskin and composer Oleg Eliseenko persuaded Didula to move to a more promising Minsk, where all kinds of competitions and concerts rained down on the guitarist's head. The musician's talent was not in doubt, and he received an invitation to perform at the major international festival "Slavianski Bazaar", which gave a powerful impetus to the career of a guitar genius.
After the festival, new horizons opened up for Valery, and soon Moscow opened its doors to Diduli's creativity. The first studio album was recorded in 2000, under the name "Flamenco", and then the first video of the guitarist appeared. Success inevitably fell on Valery Didula and offers of cooperation rained down on him from Russian pop stars. Among the customers were Abraham Russo, Christina Orbakaite, Dmitry Malikov and many other famous artists.
In 2002, the guitarist's new album "The Road to Baghdad" was released, and after it the album "Satin Shores" was born. To date, Didula has nine albums behind her back, each of which is unique and original. The created group, named after the Belarusian guitarist, gives about 120 concerts a year in the CIS countries, invariably delighting the listener with their energetic and sparkling musical colors and compositions.
Having established himself on the musical Olympus, the guitarist also began to engage in production activities, helping, among others, his compatriots. Among Didula's Belarusian protégés is the musician Igor Dedusenko, who released his album with the help of Valery, as well as the blind guitarist Denis Asimovich since childhood.
Music as a science
At the end of the year 2000, Didula continues to experiment with sound, calling his search "sound in sound". Describing this experiment, Valery Didula compares this sound with the "musical 25 frame". According to him, the sound from this effect becomes voluminous and rich, creating a new background for the composition.
The musician himself is sure that such music causes a surge of energy in the listener, which has a very peculiar effect on the mind and drives away bad and disturbing thoughts. Some doctors and psychologists have confirmed this in their observations, calling such music healing.
Soon the autobiography of the musician and his band is expected to appear, expressed in the documentary musical film "Dear of the Six Strings". The film was shot in the magical places of mountainous Abkhazia and tells about the work and everyday life of musicians, accompanied by philosophical and life observations.
The concert, which was released on June 23, 2009 in St. Petersburg at the Oktyabrsky Concert Hall, leads to the release of the album LIVE in Saint-Petersburg. The collector's edition on CD and DVD discs captured a unique and bright with its incendiary energy concert, which was appreciated by St. Petersburg fans of Didula.
February 2010 gives birth to a fresh and bright album called "Aroma". The recording of the album involves special wind instruments, among which is the dudosaks donated on tour. The colors of this album are gentle and airy, like apricot blossom, and immerse the listener in a relaxed atmosphere.
Abroad, the popularity of the musician is also growing. In 2010, together with a Canadian partner, Didula created "DiDuLa Entertainment Inc", which is designed to popularize the guitarist's music in Canada and the USA. The concert company deals with the preparation and implementation of all live and recorded performances of the string virtuoso, as well as the organization of concert tours and media relations. In September 2010, one of the most successful projects of Valery Diduli in the Russian Federation was specially re-released for the West - this is the album "CAVE TOWN OF INKERMAN" ("Cave City of Inkerman").
In the course of interaction with the famous director Alexei Balabanov, Didulya receives an award in the nomination "Best Music for the Film". At the competition "White Elephant-2010" Balabanov's film "Stoker" was exhibited, which included early compositions of the six-string genius.
The Belarusian guitarist does not stop supporting the guitar school of his homeland. So on August 30, 2012, Diduli's production work, Igor Didusenko's album "Prayer" (2012), was released to the world, and in November of the same year, Denis Asimovich's official website was launched.
For Didula himself, 2012 was also a very fruitful year. This year, on December 6, the Quadrosystem company releases a serial album called Ornamental, and at the very beginning of 2013 another work by the guitarist called LIVE in Kremlin (2013) is released. In 2013, the video editing of the concert "Music of the Sun" was completed, which was held live at the State Kremlin Palace on December 08, 2011.
The Didula group is one of the most active instrumental music groups in Russia, which annually give about 120 concerts in Russia, as well as near and far abroad.
Diduli's creativity is not only an entertaining act of show business, but also carries a restorative, harmonious energy at its core! It helps to move away from life's troubles and thanks to this restores emotional balance. Diduli's new concert event called "Music Heals" is a musical spiritual healer that unobtrusively pours a healing instrumental balm into the listener's subconscious, curing diseases that, in fact, are only a reflection of negative thoughts.
Today, the creative world of Valery Diduli is expanding in collaboration with the ex-vocalist of "Rainbow" and "Deep Purple" Joe Lynn Turner. Also, the guitarist plans to interact with Russian musicians and performers, and symphonic music becomes a new stage of experiments on the path of this energetic and talented musician.
Good day, citizens!
I want to tell you about another talented musician. Although when I first heard him, I would not have thought that he was from Belarus. It seemed to me that he was a Spaniard or another eastern country. I was misled by his music: such as "Arabica", "Isadora", "Flamnenko", "Spain", "Train to Barcelona", "Road to Baghdad", "Leila", etc.
I will try as always shorter :) to tell about it. If you want to know more, there is a lot of information about him on the Internet. Better to listen though.
Valery Mikhailovich Didyulya(January 24, 1969, Grodno) - Belarusian guitarist and composer, leader of the DiDyuLya group. Performs folk and fusion music.
Didula was born in the city of Grodno. This Belarusian town is beautiful with its architecture and rich in musical traditions. Nearby are the borders with Poland and Lithuania, resulting in a great cultural interaction. A lot of nationalities live in the city: Poles, Jews, Lithuanians, Belarusians, Russians, Ukrainians. The city is interesting, pleasant, only warm memories remain about it.
DiDuLe's first guitar was given to him by his mother when he was five years old. Interest in the instrument was unusual, maybe because someone was constantly strumming the guitar in the yard, or maybe because he was drawn to music in general. Like every child, DiDuly had all sorts of record players in childhood, which also had a rather strong influence. With the very first guitar, the first unobtrusive experiments with sound came: a sensor was placed on the guitar, home-made amplifiers were turned on, all sorts of gadgets were made. For DiDuLi, a period of guitar courses began: the teacher showed what chords exist, how to play, what manners and techniques of playing exist. This was the beginning, the first steps in mastering the guitar. 
After some time, DiDuLa found out that a competition was being held on Belarusian television, where interesting young performers of various genres were invited. If you pass the qualifying round, great prospects will open up. He decided to try, and, having collected things and tools with Dima Kurakulov, he went to another city, where the competition was held. DiDuLa and Dima passed the qualifying round, after which they were invited to shoot. It was a great inspiration, preparation for filming was very serious. To his surprise, having played some of his usual acoustic things, DiDuLa went through the next tour and got to the gala concert. It was a great victory and success - the dream of a large audience came true. In the same place, acquaintances with professional directors and editors took place, they helped, shared their own experience, indicated what should be strived for and in which direction to work. The talented Belarusian composer Oleg Eliseenkov played an important role in DiDuLi's promotion at the competition. His help was simply invaluable, his advice was accurate and helpful.
But the scope of a sound engineer becomes too narrow for DiDuLi - you want to do what you love - guitar, composition, sound, arrangement, your own author's music. And at the invitation of businessman and pianist Igor Bruskin, he moves to Minsk. Bruskin owns a music salon that sells various instruments. DiDula is engaged there in consultations and sales, working with various musical equipment, often travels to Moscow, where, interacting with recording studios, concert halls and other musical organizations where this equipment was supplied, he gains useful experience.
Suddenly, in the wake of the TV contest, at a very large festival "Slavianski Bazaar" a small program was organized, where all the artists who participated in the TV contest were invited. Finally, it became possible to make a more serious statement about oneself - the festival was broadcast to all CIS countries, as well as to Poland, the Baltic States and Bulgaria. This gives DiDula a great incentive to continue working in the direction in which she was going, building a clear position - doing instrumental music, guitar, guitar aesthetics and all this with a little influence of folk music. Also, DiDuLa tried to mix electronic music to some extent. Visiting the Slavianski Bazaar has remained a good tradition even after DiDuLa moved to Moscow. This period is typical for DiDyuLi by working closely with local choreographers, creating unusual and interesting numbers.
But Moscow beckons with its diversity and great prospects. Didula warmly says goodbye to Igor Bruskin and moves to Moscow. At first it was very difficult - after all, the capital is very specific - it has its own customs, principles, traditions. For a visitor, this is a completely unusual and unfamiliar city, other people. But the goal, stubbornness in achieving it and faith in success helped a lot to overcome difficulties. The Arbat period began - street performances, but not of a ragged street artist, but of a professional musician with good technique and appearance, who played, first of all, for his own pleasure. Here Didula met many people, including Sergei Kulishenko, at that time he held a high commercial position. Although DiDula was not very easy to get close to strangers, but against the background of the difficulties that arose, he had to make a choice: either call one of those whom he met, or leave Moscow. 
The first person DiDuLya called was Sergei Kulishenko. Sergey wanted to learn how to play the guitar, so DiDuLi got his first student. Sergey also showed interest in DiDuLi's activities, helped with housing and instruments, paid for the first professional recording at the studio of the wonderful guitarist May Lian. A high-quality home recording studio determined the direction of DiDuLi's further work. Mei Lian's recording was excellent - eight songs were recorded, technically everything was at the highest level, although artistically - not that. DiDuLa very warmly remembers communication with Mei Lian, a talented guitarist and composer, a good teacher and respected friend. DiDuLa, together with Sergey, began to develop the issue of creating their own home recording studio, explored the market for musical equipment. A set of equipment was formed, which was installed in Sergei's country house. Serious systematic work began in the field of sound, guitar, exercises, classes, search. An interesting acquaintance with the popular music group Arkady began. It was an interesting Samara musician, singer, composer; their joint club performances with DiDuLei began.
This period of DiDuLi's work is also associated with acquaintance with truly world-class stars: Placido Domingo, Bryan Adams. There is an idea to work with Abraham Russo, the goal is to record several songs, DiDuLya acts as a composer, arranger and producer. The work is going very well in tandem of Sergey Migachev, Avraam Russo and DiDyuLi, resulting in a large-scale project. The circle of acquaintances with artists is expanding, young performers are involved in the work, people are bright and interesting. The touring activity is expanding, new cities and clubs are included. During these tours, new instruments are acquired, as well as experience and ideas, which is beneficial for creativity. 
An album is born "Road to Baghdad"(Video clips “Leyla” and “Arabica” were filmed on the melody from this album). . There are complications in relations with Prigogine and his company "Knox Music". At the same time, there was an acquaintance with Andrei Konchalovsky and shooting DiDyuLi in his film "House of Fools". During filming, DiDuLa worked with Bryan Adams, who also took part in the film. In the film, DiDuLa played a guitarist, in other words, he played himself. Pirated copies of discs began to appear - undoubtedly, one of the types of artist recognition. At one of DiDuLi's concerts, Dmitry Malikov invited him to release an instrumental work together. DiDuLa agreed, the idea of the work was born quite quickly, so the composition "Satin Shores" was created. In the same vein, there was cooperation with Christina Orbakaite, a joint composition was born.
DiDula strives to diversify and enrich the palette of sounds in the works he performs, to make his music not only more beautiful, dynamic, lively, but also close and understandable to people. The idea of the need to create your own group - a team of like-minded people - visits more and more often, because only with a permanent composition you can freely travel around the country and give concerts, no longer adjusting to the working schedule of the invited musicians. DiDula begins to look for and select people one by one with whom one could share all the joys and hardships of life "on wheels" - the life of a frequently touring artist. Those with whom it would be possible to move to a new stage in creativity. The set begins: bass guitarist Yaroslav Oboldin, keyboardist Alexander Leonov, percussionist Kirill Rossolimo, sound engineer Boris Solodovnikov, drummer Andrey Atabekov are invited. The group is rehearsing, a program is being prepared, consisting partly of new, partly of old music, supplemented with new colors. There is a search for his own style, the continuation of studio experiments. 
"Legend"(2004) - the first album recorded by the band. In the same 2004, DiDuLi's largest solo concert in St. Petersburg was successfully held. The Oktyabrsky Concert Hall, designed for 4,000 spectators, was overcrowded. On the official website of Oktyabrsky, you can still see the poster of DiDuLi after the words "... and new names rise to the starry sky"
In 2005, a triumphal concert follows in Moscow, on the stage of the Rossiya State Central Concert Hall. It is a great success and a great achievement for any artist to perform in one of such well-known and large halls. Undoubtedly, concerts at these venues are also a significant event in the history of the group, for which they have been going for a long time and diligently preparing.
2006 was a very fruitful year. 2 albums were released at once: "Cave CityINKERMAN", from which a clip was shot for one of the compositions of the same name, and "Colourful dreams".
The following were released 2 discs from the "Grand Collection" series (Audio CD - a collection of 19 songs and an mp3 CD disc).
All DiDyuLi albums published at that time were translated into the popular mp3 music format in the best quality, starting with "Flamenco" ending "Cave City" Here you can also find all the clips and 2 video clips from the live concert «Live in Moscow» filmed at the State Central Concert Hall "Russia". The full mp3 version of this concert is also included on the disc. The long-awaited DVD is finally on sale. «Live in Moscow»(and the version of the concert on Audio CD), which is a video recording of the Moscow concert.
Compositions from new albums, such as "Inkerman Cave City", "Parcel from Romania", "In Exile", "Circle Dance", "Colored Dreams" were included in the updated concert program of the group, with which the musicians first pleased the audience on June 2 2007 in Moscow (concert at the Gorky Moscow Art Theater).
The excitement around the album does not have time to subside "Colourful dreams", as already in May 2007 a new album is released "Music of an unmade movie" recorded with the accompaniment of a symphony orchestra. Album "Music of an unmade movie" became the most unexpected and most discussed project of the group on the site.
The popularity of DiDuLi's music is growing and, accordingly, the geography of tours is expanding - now it is not only Russia, but also neighboring countries and European countries.
The group takes part in the "Song of the Year" in Belarus - the musical result of the year, organized by the ONT television company, the names of the participants of which are traditionally determined by the results of the rating of the country's leading FM radio stations.
DiDuLi's music is used as a soundtrack to the film by Alexei Kolmogorov "Photo of my girlfriend". Also, director Kolmogorov is filming a new video clip - for the composition "Train to Barcelona".
On March 11, 2008, an agreement was signed with the British Broadcasting Corporation BBC on use of two tracks by DiDuLi from the album Colored Dreams: "Distant City", "Colourful dreams". Tracks will be used by the BBC in a five-episode documentary "Russia - a Journey with Jonathan Dimbleby" - "Russia - A Journey with Jonathan Dimbleby"(producer - George Carey, written by - Jonathan Dimbleby, manufacturing company Mentorn Media).

Biography, life story of Diduli
Didyulya Valery Mikhailovich - Belarusian musician, composer, virtuoso guitarist, leader of the group "Didyulya" (flamenco, new age, folk, rock, ethnic motifs).
Childhood and youth
Didula was born on January 24, 1969 in the city of Grodno. This Belarusian town is beautiful with its architecture and rich in musical traditions. Nearby are the borders with Poland and Lithuania, resulting in a great cultural interaction. A lot of nationalities live in the city: Poles, Jews, Lithuanians, Belarusians, Russians, Ukrainians. The city is interesting, pleasant, only warm memories remain about it.
His mother gave Valery his first guitar when he was five years old. Interest in the instrument was unusual, maybe because someone was constantly strumming the guitar in the yard, or maybe because he was drawn to music in general. Like every child, Didula had all sorts of record players in childhood, which also had a rather strong influence. With the very first guitar, the first unobtrusive experiments with sound came: a sensor was placed on the guitar, home-made amplifiers were turned on, all sorts of gadgets were made. For Didula, a period of guitar courses began: the teacher showed what chords exist, how to play, what manners and techniques of playing exist. This was the beginning, the first steps in mastering the guitar.
The craving for experiments with the guitar was inextinguishable, the guys attended concerts, watched how they play at weddings, and how it all happens in general - it captured and had a serious impact on interests and ideas. Valery and his friends, who were also fond of the guitar, showed each other new achievements, competed, which, of course, pushed them, forced them to work and keep themselves in suspense.
creative path
Years passed, experiments continued, the first group appeared. Didula was taken to the vocal and instrumental ensemble "Scarlet Dawns" as the third guitarist. There were a lot of people in the ensemble - an expanded composition, there was a brass section, keyboard instruments. Concerts were held in collective farms and state farms, as well as in the city. Nikolai Khitrik, the permanent head of the ensemble, and work there gave Valery a lot of experience and important performances. In the course of work, several people were filtered out, after which the performances were continued at a local cooperative restaurant. It was an amazing school: six hours of play every evening, no days off, almost no breaks; different kinds of music were played. This could be called the first serious school where Didula received basic knowledge and public speaking skills. In addition, the first money was earned, which he was very proud of, because making money doing what you love is the dream of anyone.

But the ensemble fell apart, after which the sound engineering period of work began for Valery Diduli. He went to the dance ensemble "White Dew" - a very serious, authoritative group in Grodno, which had touring experience and success. Various music was played, sung and danced, mostly folk dances - Polish, Belarusian, Ukrainian, gypsy. The team was large and versatile, where Didula became a sound engineer - an important and responsible job, and at the same time very interesting. Although during the work I had to learn a lot: how to make sound, how different instruments sound, how the public generally accepts this or that number. After all, a sound engineer, sitting in a concert hall, feels like no one else what is happening on the stage, what is the reaction of the audience in the hall, which numbers are better received, which ones are worse, how the sound affects the viewer. Subtle psychological moments of the concert - that's what Didula managed to learn while working in this team. A huge experience was also gained from communicating with the musicians - they were people who went through fire and water, with a strong academic education, who played folk music like no other. The touring activities of the ensemble had a very strong influence on Didula's further work, because the tours took place both on the territory of his homeland and abroad.
With this team, Didula first visited Europe - in Spain, Italy, Poland, Switzerland, France, Germany. The diversity of people and traditions of these countries made an indelible impression. Working with this team, Valery went to Spain, where he got acquainted with the flamenco style, the Spanish folk tradition. Although before that he was interested and studied their music, he delved into it, but only in Spain did it become clear to him. The ensemble spent quite a lot of time there, various musical instruments were purchased there. Also, during his stay in Spain, Didula arranged street concerts, which gave great experience and hardening.
Working in the ensemble, Didula communicated not only with musicians, but also with dancers and choreographers, it was a dance ensemble. The first serious composing experiments began there. Having a good technological base in the ensemble, Valery began to record more or less professionally. In the same place, his first recordings began to be born, the first ideas about concerts. First there was cooperation with dancers, then there was an acquaintance with a wonderful guitarist Vladimir Zakharov, a wonderful dancer and choreographer Dmitry Kurakulov. Thus, a dance-musical trio and an excellent concert program were created. The period in "Belye Rosy" was a time of ideas, the atmosphere of the team, communication with interesting people, and tours greatly influenced.
After some time, Didula found out that a competition was being held on Belarusian television, where interesting young performers of various genres were invited. If you pass the qualifying round, great prospects will open up. He decided to try, and, having collected things and tools with Dima Kurakulov, he went to another city, where the competition was held. Valery and Dima passed the qualifying round, after which they were invited to shoot. It was a great inspiration, preparation for filming was very serious. To his surprise, having played some acoustic things familiar to him, Didula passed the next tour and got to the gala concert. It was a great victory and success - the dream of a large audience came true. In the same place, acquaintances with professional directors and editors took place, they helped, shared their own experience, indicated what should be strived for and in which direction to work. A talented Belarusian composer Oleg Eliseenkov played an important role in promoting Didula at the competition. His help was simply invaluable, his advice was accurate and helpful.

This period is typical for Didula by working closely with local choreographers, creating unusual and interesting numbers.

An interesting acquaintance began with the performer of popular music Arkady. It was an interesting Samara musician, singer, composer; began their joint club performances with Didula.
Through Arkady, I got acquainted with Sergey Migachev - a sound producer, arranger, a person who understands music, is familiar with both modern computer and analog technologies. After a year of hard work together, under the guidance and with the help of Sergei Kulishenko, the debut album was recorded and the first video clip "Isadora" was shot. But in large recording companies, Didula was refused: they all argued that instrumental music was not for Russia, this genre was not interesting. There were no financial opportunities to show their music to a large audience, which baffled Diduli's company and did not inspire optimism. At one of the club concerts, he met with a man who is now quite famous, he was interested in music and performance. He invited Didula to meet at the office of the Monolit company and talk about cooperation. The management of the company, having listened to the material, refused after much deliberation. Interest inspired, and Valery Didula began to focus on performances in clubs. Speaking and analyzing what the audience likes more, Didula was able to correct his album, achieved an interesting, unusual sound from his guitar. At one of the regular concerts, Didula was approached by people who invited him to negotiate with the Global Music company. The company became interested in the project and agreed to cooperate. Diduli's first contract was signed. But, unfortunately, things did not go further: for unknown reasons, the company was not active in its work.
Six months of cooperation was not in vain: Valery Didyulya met Timur Salikhov, the director. This person is ideal for his work - professional acumen and subtle diplomacy. The contract with Global Music was terminated. After some time, Didula received a call from the Russian Studio, they offered to place one of the compositions in the collection. In the office where the meeting was scheduled, Didula was able to talk with Prigozhin, a young, quick-witted specialist. He said that he was creating a new company, Knox Music, he was interested in new projects and would like to cooperate. It didn't take much thought to answer - Didula agreed. The materials were reviewed, the direction of further work was discussed and a contract was signed. The shooting of a new video with the participation of the ballet "Todes" immediately began. The plate, design was prepared; advertising began, the debut album was released. Work was organized on the introduction of an unusual genre of instrumental music. Video clips began to be shown on television, Didula also took part in the original Anthropology program, where he managed to speak, talk, and acquaint viewers with the record. After that, more serious sales of the album began.
This period of Didula's work is also associated with acquaintance with truly world-class stars: Placido Domingo,. An idea appears to work with, the goal is to record several songs, Didula acts as a composer, arranger and producer. The work is going very well in tandem of Sergei Migachev and Diduli and is turning into a large-scale project. The circle of acquaintances with artists is expanding, young performers are involved in the work, people are bright and interesting. The touring activity is expanding, new cities and clubs are included. During these tours, new instruments are acquired, as well as experience and ideas, which is beneficial for creativity.
The album "Road to Baghdad" (2002) is born. There are complications in relations with Prigogine and his company "Knox Music".

Didula - Way home
Biography
The musical performer was born in the city of Grodno on January 24, 1969. Here he went to grade 1 and for the first time picked up the guitar that his mother gave him. Then the little boy did not yet know how cool this gift would change his life. The teachers studying with Valery were surprised at how deftly the boy handles the guitar. Many even then saw him as a future musician.
As soon as Valery got a guitar, he began to spend all his free time with it. The future musician studied new ways of playing, watched famous performers play, and experimented.
Famous musician Valery Didula
Valery gives more than 120 concerts for his fans. In addition, he releases new albums and produces other musical artists. His work is in demand by listeners and highly appreciated by music critics.
famous musician now
An interesting fact from the life of Diduli - he managed to try himself as an actor. Valery starred in A. Konchalovsky's "House of Fools".
The artist is a very calm and balanced person. Unlike other musicians performing on the domestic stage, Valery never became the hero of gossip and discussion (not counting the case with his ex-wife). He pours out his energy in performances.
Does the artist have a family?
Fans of Didula (see photo) are interested not only in his creative path, but also in the presence of a family of a musical performer, namely, a wife or children. Wikipedia gives data only about the biography of the singer. This source is silent about his personal life.
The press interprets information about Didula's personal life in different ways. The fact is that the most musical artist does not like to talk about marital status. The media, most likely, knows more speculation about the artist's personal life than true facts.
Some sources indicate that Didula was previously married to Leyla Khamrabaeva. In this marriage, the artist had a son and a daughter. A little later, the couple broke up. However, Leila still cannot come to terms with the fact that the once beloved man left her. The woman wants to get as much child support as possible. Leyla spreads the word that Valery did not give a single penny for his son and daughter. In fact, the performer pays for a comfortable life for his children and ex-wife.
Didula with his wife
In 2016, several articles appeared in the press on Diduli's marital status. Journalists wrote that Leila was invited to take part in the filming of the program “We Speak and Show”, where she told how she lives in complete poverty. According to the former wife of Valery, the man refuses to pay child support. Layla barely makes ends meet. She lives with her children in a rented apartment and barely provides for her son and daughter. According to 2016 data, Didula has to pay 2 million 300 thousand rubles to his ex-wife. It is possible that today, this amount has increased significantly.
Lawyers argued that Valery fully repaid the "debt" to his ex-wife. They insisted that Didula was clean before the law. Allegedly, in fact, Leila appropriates the amounts of transfers received from the musician to herself, exposing the artist in a negative light.
What is happening in Diduli's personal life now?
Now Valery has a new family. His new wife's name is Evgenia. She sings in Diduli's group. Valery calls his beloved a muse. He says that this girl inspires him to new musical works. It is known that in a marriage with Evgenia, Valery had a daughter. Didula (see photo) is happy with his new family.
The ex-wife demands alimony from Valery
It is not known how Evgenia reacts to the ex-wife of the music artist. Since the man has children from a previous marriage, he probably wants to communicate with them. Fans of Didula are wondering if this fact from Valery's biography confuses his new wife. After all, many women do not like it when their husbands devote a lot of time to their previous family. Evgenia prefers to remain silent about this. The interview with her did not appear in the media at all. Unfortunately, the press could not find out more detailed information about the wife of the musical artist.
Valery Didula popular musician
Now Valery is not ready to openly tell the fans how he lives with Evgenia, and also where they met this girl. It is possible that they were connected by a love of music and work. It is worth noting that information about the marriage of a musical artist did not appear in the media. Perhaps Valery and Evgenia live in a civil marriage.

Childhood
The famous artist was born on January 24, 1969 (48 years old) in the city of Grodno, the Belarusian Republic (then part of the USSR). Parents Mikhail Antonovich and Galina Petrovna had nothing to do with musical activity. Mom was an accountant in the field of catering, dad was a high-class locksmith. Whatever little Valera was fond of, he always found support in the family. This is probably why, seeing her son's interest in music, his mother gave him a toy guitar for his fifth birthday, which looked very much like a real one. In addition to the guitar, Valery was fond of chess, radio work, and swimming. But most of all he was drawn to music. It was the support of his parents, according to Didula, that became the impetus for his musical achievements.
First steps to success
As a teenager, Valery received a real guitar as a gift from his parents. By this time, his passion had become serious. He learned to play the guitar, experimented with sound at home. Then he began to try various devices: sensors, pads, sound amplifiers. He was very diligent in his hobby, constantly honing his guitar skills. Even his teachers were surprised by this. Friends of the future musician were also fond of this instrument, so they always had an unspoken competition: who is better, who will play more interesting. This went on for several years.
Carier start
In the BSSR, there was a rather popular VIA "Scarlet Dawns" in Soviet times. Working as a guitarist in an ensemble was Diduli's first place of realization as a musician. With concerts they traveled all over the republic. This work taught Valery to stand in front of the public with dignity. Many hours of performances honed skills and developed endurance. But with the collapse of the USSR, the creative team also collapsed. The guys left in search of more promising work, and only Valery continued to play the guitar.
Diduli's next musical experience was the White Dew dance group. This team was famous and successful. The guys mostly danced folk Polish, Belarusian, Ukrainian, gypsy dances. Here Valery worked as a guitarist and sound engineer. He liked folk music, and later its motives can be heard in the musician's own works. Sound engineering work was very responsible. It was necessary to figure out how not only the guitar sounds, but the whole arsenal of musical instruments used at concerts. It was also necessary to adjust the sound in such a way that it would be advantageous to the viewer, harmoniously merging with the dance. Didula watched the reaction of the audience at the performances: what goes well and what needs to be improved. So he saw the preferences of the public, adjusting to it. This experience is also very useful to the musician in his creative development.
With the ensemble, Valery went on numerous tours. He visited European countries: Spain, Italy, Poland, Switzerland, France, Germany. And each left a strong indelible impression. But he especially fell in love with Spain with its flamenco style.
Working in an ensemble and communicating with professional musicians, Didula discovers the talent of a composer for the first time and even thinks about solo performances. The very atmosphere of the ensemble - a lot of talented, young, bright people, the love of the public, tours - inspired the young Valera Didula to develop and succeed.
Through hardship to the stars
While working in the White Dew ensemble, Valery came across an advertisement for a competition held for young performers. Advertising promised great prospects for the participants who made it to the final. He took a chance, leaving to try his luck in another city where the shooting took place. And to my surprise Not only passed the qualifying round, but also got to the gala concert. Dreams of a solo career began to come true. The competition gave him many useful contacts. Professional directors, editors, producers shared their experience and gave practical advice.
Minsk businessman and musician Igor Bruskin, after getting acquainted with the work of Didula, provides him with a job in his salon, where musical instruments are sold. Frequent business trips to Moscow in order to sell instruments to various recording companies give new invaluable experience to the guitarist Didula. In addition, he gives small concerts in Minsk. His music is a combination of folk motives, Spanish flamenco style with the addition of electronic processing. The performance style of Didula's compositions has already become final. He is slowly but surely moving towards his dream of recording an album.
Unexpectedly, fate gives Valery a very successful and fateful chance. The participants of the TV contest, in which Didula participated, were invited again to participate in the large-scale festival "Slavianski Bazaar". It was a great opportunity to express yourself and your work. After the performance, he was invited to work in Moscow, and he agreed. Life in Moscow has become a difficult test for the guitarist. The producers rejected him, referring to the fact that playing the guitar is not in demand by the public, and will not bring success. Didula had to earn a living by street performances. Only acquaintance with the then influential Muscovite Sergei Kulishenko helped Valery Didula stay in Moscow. Sergei asked the musician to give him guitar lessons for money. He also sponsored the release of the guitarist's first album at the Mei Liana recording studio. This famous guitarist soon helped Valery organize his home studio. Thus began the real work of the composer and virtuoso guitarist Valery Diduli.
Success
Diduli's first album did not arouse enthusiasm among major record companies, and there was no money for a solo concert. But this did not stop the musician. Speaking in clubs, Didula corrected his music, taking into account the preferences of the public. The talented musician Sergey Migachev helped Valery in his work. At one of the performances, Didula was approached by representatives of the Global Music company and invited for an interview. This is how the first contract was born.
But the cooperation did not bring creative fruits, and soon the contract was terminated. But new useful acquaintances appeared. A series of events brought the musician to Prigogine, who offered Didula a job at his company Knox Music. After signing the contract, large-scale work began to promote the young guitarist: the release of the debut album, shooting a video featuring Alla Dukhova's ballet, advertising, participation in television programs. All this contributed to the growth of popularity of Valery Diduli. Albums begin to quickly disappear from store shelves. Teamwork with Migachev and Prigogine was very productive.
After the successful release of the first album, the circle of acquaintances of the musician is still expanding. Russian pop stars begin to cooperate with him. Kristina Orbakaite, Abraham Russo, Dmitry Malikov - this is an incomplete list of artists who turned to Didula as a composer.
The following albums "Road to Baghdad", "Satin Shores" no longer leave any doubts about the professionalism and talent of the guitarist and bring him fame.
Creativity Diduli now
After going through a difficult path and honing his guitar skills to perfection, Valery is looking for new ways to express his talent. The creation of “sound in sound” compositions, when the background sound is added to the main sound, served as the beginning of writing music that favorably affects the psychological health of a person. This fact is confirmed by expert psychologists.
To date, Valery Didula gives more than 120 concerts a year, releases new albums, and produces other performers. His work is in demand.
In addition to music, Didula tried himself as a movie actor. He played the role of a guitarist in A. Konchalovsky's film "House of Fools".
Guitarist character
About himself, a talented musician says that he is a calm, balanced person. He does not like scandals and adventures. And he has a surge of energy in performances. At his concerts, Didula gives vent to feelings and emotions, creating a vivid show combined with high-quality, unsurpassed music.

Biography of Diduli: family, wife, children
How did the personal life of this wonderful artist? Diduli's biography, wife, children - all this is interesting to fans to the smallest detail. The performer does not like to talk about his personal life. But the artist is always in sight, and some information still leaks. Although it probably contains a lot of speculation.
There is information that Didula was married to a Tajik Leyla Khamrabaeva. The marriage produced a son and a daughter. The musician broke up with Leila, but resentment haunts his ex-wife. She is in a constant fight for child support, spreading rumors that her ex-husband and father of her children is not paying them a dime. Diduli's lawyer denies these rumors, arguing that the ex-wife regularly receives alimony, and there is no debt.
New love
As evidenced by the biography of Diduli, the artist has a family, a wife (photo in the article) today. His wife is a young talented singer named Evgenia, who works in his group. Didula speaks very warmly of her, calling Evgenia her muse, inspiring him to new works. In this happy marriage, a daughter was born. That's all the meager data about the personal life of the musician.
Valery Didula is not only a composer, performer, arranger, sound engineer, but also a producer of his group called "DiDyuLya". This gives the artist's work integrity and harmony. The "DiDuLa" project is a combination of talent, experience, great work, determination and, of course, self-confidence.
