In the famous Soviet song, words are heard that the song helps us to build and live. Even in the darkest mood, a rational person will not argue with this thesis. In every country, in every nation, performers are born who leave a memory of themselves for many years. Among such talented singers is Jean Arutyunovich Tatlyan.
early years
In the myths of ancient Greece, one can find many examples of how the Vestals predicted the fate of a particular person. In the biography of Jean Tatlian there are both joyful and sad stories. No one predicted life collisions to him. According to official figures, the famous singer was born on August 1, 1943 in the Greek city of Thessaloniki. The family of Armenian refugees after long wanderings moved here, fleeing threats and persecution. It should be noted that in this place no one gave them guarantees for the preservation of health and life.
Jean was the third child in the family. Father at that time had already turned fifty-odd years old. The boy from young nails demonstrated musical and vocal abilities. His mother took him to a local music school. However, after some time in 1947, the family returned to the Soviet Union and Jean was unable to complete his education. At home, the situation was difficult and the former refugees had to change their place of residence several times. In 1956, parents entrenched in Sukhumi, and the teenager entered the local circus variety school.
It is within the walls of this educational institution that the professional career of the singer begins. Vocal capabilities of Jean immediately noticed by experts. Responsible persons asked how the young man lives, and invited him to a jazz orchestra. It must be said that Tatlyan eagerly responded to all the proposals that were received, while he carefully searched for his niche as an artist. The love of music and vocals was interspersed with a desire for independence and creative freedom.
