“In fact, Yuri Shatunov has soulful songs that do not leave anyone indifferent and give a special warmth. It is not for nothing that one of the meanings of Zilair is a warm song. “Talent is born here and the music sounds special,” he said.
Former soloist of “Tender May” Yuri Shatunov was born in Kumertau, Bashkir Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic. When he was 11 years old, the singer went to the boarding school where his mother sent him due to his illness. When the parent died, the aunt gained custody of the child, but the child only lived with her for a year. Shatunov then met with Valentina Tazekenova, the director of the orphanage in the village of Akbulak in the Orenburg district. As a result, he took the child with him.
