Link to the video: "The Prayer" by Gyuli Kambarova
This week, I received an extraordinary gift—an inspiring new interpretation of my song, beautifully performed by Elena Velichko with the Philharmonic Jazz Orchestra in Dagestan, Russia, where I was born. The orchestra, under the direction of conductor Magomed Magomedov, brought new life to the piece with a stunning arrangement, rich in depth and emotion. Their performance at the Kumyk Theater, one of the largest theaters in Dagestan, was nothing short of breathtaking—filled with passion, warmth, and an incredible energy that resonated deeply.
This piece is very special to me. I have always believed that music, like a prayer, has the power to uplift, heal, and bring light into the world. A prayer expressed through music can transcend words, touching hearts and souls in a way nothing else can. It is a universal language that unites us all, reminding us of beauty, love, and hope.
Music is truly a gift—one that we can give to each other, one that stays with us through life’s joys and challenges. And what a precious gift it was to hear this song performed with such artistry and sincerity!
May music always be with you, bringing peace and inspiration. Happy International Women’s Day! 🌸
I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Elena Velichko, who made this beautiful dream come true. Through her artistry and vision, she created a fairytale out of my Song of Prayer, weaving together music, emotion, and storytelling in the most magical way. Her dedication, creativity, and deep understanding of the spirit behind these pieces have transformed them into something truly special—more than just melodies, but a journey of the soul.
Music has always been my way of expressing what words cannot, a way to connect with something greater, to share emotions, and to bring light into the world. Seeing this Song of Prayer come to life in such a breathtaking way is a gift beyond words. Elena's ability to capture the essence of this music and turn it into something so moving and inspiring is truly remarkable.
Thank you, Elena, Magomed, and all the orchestra players, for your passion, artistry, and for making this dream a reality. Your work has given new wings to these songs, and I am forever grateful!
