Bio
Lala R is the stage of the 21st century. This is how American music critics spoke about the Russian singer Lala R after one of the concerts in America. Then Lala performed with a group of artists from Israel. First, she sang a prayer in Hebrew, then a Russian song, a Yemen song in Yemeni, and popular songs of the winners of the Eurovision Song Contest. Suddenly an exclamation from the audience: “Today is Barbara Streisand’s birthday, please sing something from her repertoire.” Knowing how Americans love their singer, Lala did not lose her head and sang her favorite song by B. Streisand “Memory”. Grateful listeners staged a storm of applause. After that, music critics called the talented Russian singer a representative of the pop art of the 21st century, noting that “Lala R covered Barbara Streisand.”
In America, where Lala lives with her husband Boris Lyudkovsky, critics have defined their music as the “Any way ” style. Translated into Russian, this term means “songs for any occasion”, that is, songs for everyone. In fact, this is a unique, true designation of their performing skills in the Russian genre. Drawing attention to the singer with a beautiful voice, various publications wrote about her that “Lala R sings for everyone!” … “This is a huge achievement in the world of Russian culture abroad. It seems that even in the West there is no such musical direction as “any way” for any American musician. And here Lala R and Ludkovsky were the first!” … “Her songs are for everyone, “any way”! They are relevant, songs for any occasion of life, they are close to everyone! It is very pleasant that it was our Russian singer who was noticed by American music critics and responded so kindly to her …
Russian listeners and connoisseurs of the true stage, who will come to Lala R’s concerts, will be able to appreciate the work of a stylish singer. For everyone and everyone, wonderful songs will be heard that are sung with soul and heart.
It so happened that in other countries and on other continents our singer is known better than at home. However, there was a time when her childish voice sounded in every Soviet home. Then Lala soloed in the children’s choir of television and radio broadcasting under the direction of Viktor Popov. As the first performer, she sang wonderful songs of the Soviet stage “Beautiful Far Away”, “Forest Deer”, “Winged Swing”.
But I, a journalist, still want to understand why demanding Western critics attributed Lyalya R to the stage of the 21st century? Because she sings in different languages and she can control songs from the repertoire of any world stars? And maybe it was Lala, working in the “Any way” style, who brought a new genre of “Variety of the 21st century” into our art with her creativity? Don’t know. But one thing I am sure that many artists, especially beginners, will want to fall within this designation. A multi-faceted talent like Lala’s is the format of the new millennium. Lala’s professionalism is the key to her success.

This is a long story.
