Masha Makarova and her "Bears"

Female rock in Russia has always been distinguished by some special charm and originality. The popular Russian singer Masha Makarova burst into the world of the capital's rock party in the dashing 90s, immediately capturing everyone with her recklessness, wild temper and, of course, Lyubochka. Indeed, no one expected such an absurd combination, like rock music and Agniya Barto.

However, Lyubochka is not the only circumstance that attracted the attention of the public.

Birth of a star

In September 1977 in the sunny Krasnodar was born the future star Masha Makarova. Her biography could have developed quite differently, do not be a girl so single-minded and talented. Creativity began to absorb Masha in early childhood. In her native Krasnodar she managed to become famous long before the founding of the star group "Masha and the Bears". The young radio presenter managed to prove herself in the local rock groups "Drink" and "Makar Dubai".

And when there was a chance to meet with the leader of the famous group "Megapolis", the talented journalist of Krasnodar radio already had a tape with his works. Oleg Nesterov saw the prospect of young talent and was not mistaken, agreeing to produce it.

Already in 1996, Masha Makarova moved to Moscow, where she began her career as a singer. The idea of creating a group "Masha and Bears" came to Oleg Nesterov's head. Started a close work on the release of the first disc. Who knows how the fate of unknown musicians would have developed, if it had not been for the accidentally born Lyubochka, which later became their calling card.

First impression

An outrageous company of shaved naked young people, led by the ataman Masha, appeared in the debut video filmed in 1998 in India. Lysoy was even the only girl in the group Masha Makarova. Photo bald company flew all fashion magazines. As it turned out later, the hair was not shaved at all in order to shock the public. It was a spontaneous idea that arose under the influence of Indian Buddhists: the ritual of letting hair through the waters of the Ganges is quite popular and, in Buddhist terms, means a change of karma. However, it no longer mattered, the effect was terrific, and Masha Makarova with her "Bears" sounded on all the radio stations in the country.

In the summer of the same year the first album of the band "Masha and Bears" - "Solntseklesh" was released. The album's songs did not look like the popular "Lyubochka", and yet some of them managed to get into the charts. The most famous were "Reykjavik", "Without you".

It was a bright period of frenzied rise, and according to the magazine Om, the rock group Masha and Bears was recognized as a 1998 breakthrough.

Creative crisis and revival

The bright debut was a real test for Masha. When she realized that she began to depend on the imperfect laws of show business, she suddenly suddenly wanted to throw everything, which she did. In 2000, Masha Makarova officially announced the disintegration of the group and went in search of her style.

The last year before the breakup was particularly difficult for the singer. She strongly protested against the imposed conventions, refused to speak, did not agree to participate in propaganda campaigns. Depressive mood Masha reflected in the album in 1999 "Where?". One of the most famous hits in this album "Earth" was included in the number of soundtracks to the sensational film "Brother 2". At the same time, the singer divorced her first husband.

Such a reassessment of values has benefited the talented rock star. After taking a break, in 2004 Masha again reunited with the "Bears", and they continue their creative path to this day.

A family

The first experience of creating a singer's family is difficult to call successful. Masha met the first husband Andrei Repesko while still a schoolgirl. Early marriage led to the fact that the twenty-two-year-old singer had already acquired the status of "divorcee". Despite this, the father of her first daughters, twins Rosa and Mira, born in 2005, was exactly Repesko. But even this joyful event could not bring together the former spouses. The father of the third child Damir in 2010 was a civilian husband Masha Alexander.

Masha Makarova gave birth to all her children at home, proving that nothing prevents a healthy woman from treating without hospitalization. Motherhood made Masha truly happy and filled all the missing puzzles in her soul.

At present the group "Masha and Bears" continues its concert activity with success. The repertoire of the group, of course, is somewhat different from the creative research of the nineties. The texts and manner of Masha's performance became more meaningful and deep, and the group now attracts fans with more mature thoughts and ideas, far from shocking.
