Singer grandpa who and where he comes from. Didyulya: “They say I’m stoned, but I’m just passionate about music

Didula received it at the age of five as a gift from his mother. From that moment on, he began to “experiment with sound and guitar”: he installed a pickup and sensor on the guitar, and connected the instrument to a homemade amplifier. Together with friends, I attended concerts and watched them play at weddings. Later he was accepted as the third guitarist in the vocal and instrumental ensemble “Scarlet Dawns” under the direction of Nikolai Khitrik. Concerts were held in different cities, collective and state farms, and later in a cooperative restaurant.

After the collapse of the ensemble, Didyulya took up sound engineering work in the Grodno song and dance ensemble “White Dews”, where they played, sang and danced mainly Polish, Belarusian, Ukrainian, and Gypsy folk dances and motifs. As part of this group, Didyulya toured Europe for the first time - Spain, Italy, Poland, Switzerland, France, Germany. In Spain, he became acquainted with the flamenco style - a traditional Spanish music and dance style, which influenced his final formation (in Didyuli’s work some passages and rhythms are traced that are characteristic of flamenco and other Spanish movements, but still this music cannot be called one hundred percent flamenco) . Didyulya's first album was released in 2000; in 2002, Didyulya gathered a group of musicians and began active touring. Since his first albums, the musician has been boldly experimenting with electronic sounds; guitar passages are successfully emphasized by dense and rhythmic house-style arrangements (it is worth noting the Astero project’s remix of the composition “Flamenco”).

Didulya is the author of more than 120 instrumental compositions, combining in one person a composer, performer of his own works and producer of the Didulya project. “Didyulya” is the most touring instrumental group in Russia (120 concerts per year); percussionists (Rustem Bari and Andrey Atabekov), keyboard player (Khaibula Magomedov), bass guitarist (Dmitry Ershov) and brass take part on stage together with Didyulya in the concert performance group (Valery Folded and Ramil Mulikov).

Didulya was the producer of the work of the classical guitarist Denis Asimovich, who lost his sight at an early age and passed away in 2008, at the age of 33. “Thanks to another Grodno resident, whose name is now known almost half the world, DiDyuLe, Denis Asimovich recorded an album of his music . Everything was recorded in Moscow, first at DiDyuLi’s personal studio, then at the KVADRO studio (where both Pugacheva and Zemfira recorded). The producer of the project is DiDyuLya.”

On December 6, 2012, Didyulya’s ninth studio audio album “Ornamental” was released; at the beginning of January 2013, the collector’s edition “LIVE in Kremlin” (2DVD+3CD) was released. The concert includes several compositions that (according to Didulya himself) have never been and will not be released in studio recordings, for the reason that the musician only feels them in a live performance.

In November 2013, DiDuLya, together with the Belarusian singer Max Lawrence, submitted an application to participate in the national qualifying round of the Eurovision Song Contest 2014 from the Republic of Belarus to present the song “Now you’re gone”.

Name: Valery Didyulya

Date of Birth: 24.01.1969

Age: 50 year

Place of Birth: Grodno city, Belarus

Activity: musician

Family status: not married

Didyulya was born in one of the most beautiful cities in Belarus. Parents, father - an engineer and mother - an accountant, supported creative inclinations from childhood. The first guitar appeared at the age of five. In general, Vitaly’s parents gave him the opportunity to pursue different hobbies. They wanted him to choose a hobby he liked on his own. And so it happened. When Didulya first saw the guitar, he said, he felt it physically. This is where his creative path began.


He studied at secondary school No. 22 in Grodno. He was not a good academic performer. But the music teachers were amazed at his hard work. And Didyulya continued to improve his skills.

Valery Mikhailovich Didyulya

As a child, Valera was an active child. His parents did not prevent him from developing in various directions. He loved to play sports. Tennis, swimming, cycling are his favorite leisure activities.

Didyulya's house stood on the outskirts of the city. Not far away there were a forest, a river, lakes, and fields. On weekends, he went for a walk in the forest, climbed trees, swam in the lake and river. Nothing stopped him from merging with nature. After all, at that time there was no Internet, and television was not as developed as it is today.

Didula has been playing the guitar since childhood

In my circle of friends there were guys who were also interested in music. In the evenings, they gathered in the yard and sang songs with a guitar, boasted to each other about their new achievements, and competed.

Like every Soviet family, Didyulya had a large collection of gramophone records at home, listening to which also influenced the development of his creativity.

During his school years, Valery studied a lot with the teacher in guitar courses. It was the teacher who showed him various techniques for playing the seven-string. Learning to play became a conscious path to music.

The beginning of a creative journey

The first musical group in which the young performer worked was “Scarlet Dawns”. There he worked as the third guitarist. First they performed in front of collective farmers and townspeople. Then they continued working in a cooperative restaurant. During this period, Didyulya gained invaluable experience of performing in front of audiences. The performances lasted for 6 hours every evening, and a wide variety of music was played. Then he earned his first money and was very proud of it.

At the age of 17, Didyulya was a sound engineer for the Belye Rosy ensemble. He toured with them throughout Europe. The work was serious and responsible. It was a huge experience in studying the psychology of the viewer, from communicating with musicians who masterfully played folk music. It was then that he became acquainted with his beloved Flamenco style. Before the tour to Spain, the guitarist was very interested in this folk tradition, but it was in the country itself that he delved into it and understood it to the end.

The musician shows all his perseverance in his work

While working in the ensemble, Didulya gained the necessary experience and began recording his first compositions. Ideas emerged about holding our own concerts.

First TV competition

Once he heard that Belarusian television was holding a competition to find young talented performers, Valery immediately decided to take part in it. He invited Dmitry Kurakulov, a dancer and choreographer from “White Ros,” with him. They won the competition. It was a great success, as they were invited to subsequent filming. Didyulya prepared for them with all seriousness and luck again. He passed the next round and got to the gala concert. The dreams of an aspiring artist have come true. A large audience, famous people, professional editors and directors shared their experiences with him and gave recommendations in which direction he should move.

At the Slavic Bazaar festival, they organized a small program in which everyone who participated in the previous television competition was invited. The festival was broadcast in all CIS countries and for Didyulya this became an opportunity to make a serious statement about himself. He builds a clear line for the upcoming work - he mixes guitar music with folk and electronic elements.

Didyulya successfully toured abroad

In 1998, Didyulya moved to Moscow - a city of great opportunities. It was very difficult for him to settle down there. The Moscow mentality was far from his hometown. He was able to survive due to his determination.

I had to perform on Arbat, but as a professional artist who plays not to earn money, but solely for his own pleasure.

Even not very high communication skills did not prevent the artist from stubbornly pursuing his goal. He had to overcome himself and call unfamiliar, but famous and important people.

First collaborations

This is how he became close to Sergei Kulishenko, becoming his guitar teacher. And Kulishenko, in turn, really helped Valery get settled, and also paid for the purchase of new instruments and paid for the first professional recording at Mei Lian’s studio. Subsequently, Didyulya and Sergei organized a home recording studio at Kulishenko’s country house. The first album and video “Isadora” were recorded on it.

But recognition of his work was still far ahead. At the same time, his talent was not recognized and the genre was not appreciated. Six months later, Timur Salikhov became interested in his music. Then the Russian Studio company offered to place one of the compositions in the album. At the company’s office, Didyulya met Joseph Prigozhin, who offered him cooperation. Active work has begun. We immediately started filming a video together with the creative team “Todes” and released our debut album.

Grandpa was invited to the “Anthropology” program, where he introduced viewers to his first record.

A guitarist has to work hard

After meeting Prigozhin, Didyulya’s career took off. Album sales were booming. He meets people such as Placido Domingo, Bryan Adams, Abraham Russo. Together with Russo and Sergei Migachev, work began on recording several songs, and it turned into a serious project. The circle of contacts expands, new people are attracted, touring activities intensify, new experiences are acquired, and ideas are born.

After the release of the album “Road to Baghdad,” relations with Prigozhin became complicated. This is compensated by meeting Andrei Konchalovsky and Dmitry Malikov. Didula is starring in the film “House of Fools.” While filming, he became close to Bryan Adams, who also took part. After pirated copies appeared, it became clear that Didyulya had achieved recognition.

The musician gives concerts a lot

With Malikov they are recording a joint composition “Satin Shores”. Active concert activity began. Valery decides to create his own group. Prepares the program, gathers people.

In 2014, Didyulya was planned to perform at Eurovision in a duet with Max Lawrence. They prepared a stunning performance that delighted the jury. But the performer Theo was sent to the competition. Neither the spectators' protests nor Lukashenko's letter helped them.

Today Didula is working on music that is useful for people. He gives more than a hundred concerts a year. Tours all over the world.

Personal life

The guitarist prefers not to expose his personal life to public discussion.

It is known that Didyulya was married to a girl, Leila Khamrabaeva. He adopted Leila's girl from her first marriage. Later they had a son together. Officially, Didula is considered the father of two children. The divorce took place more than 10 years ago. But the ex-wife still defends her right to decent alimony. According to her, Didyulya was never known for his generosity. And now he pays mere pennies in alimony, which is not enough for a normal existence. Leila and her children live in a rented apartment very poorly. She claims. That Vitaly never took part in raising children.

Recently, she was invited to Leonid Zakoshansky’s program “We Talk and Show,” where the woman voiced all her complaints about her negligent father. The family is in such a difficult situation that the son came out with a sign “Dad, pay child support.” It seems that the guy did this under the influence of his mother. In the fight for 2 million rubles, she is ready to go to the end.

Good day, citizens!
I want to tell you about another talented musician. Although when I first heard him, I would not have thought that he was from Belarus. It seemed to me that he was Spanish or from another eastern country. I was misled by his music: such as “Arabica”, “Isadora”, “Flamnenko”, “Spain”, “Train to Barcelona”, “Road to Baghdad”, “Leila”, etc.
As always, I’ll try to tell you about it briefly:) If you want to know more, there is a lot of information about it on the internet. It's better to listen to him though.)

Valery Mikhailovich Didyulya(January 24, 1969, Grodno) - Belarusian guitarist and composer, leader of the group “DiDyuLya”. Performs folk and fusion music.

DiDyuLya was born in the city of Grodno. This Belarusian town is beautiful with its architecture and rich in musical traditions. The borders with Poland and Lithuania are nearby, resulting in great cultural interaction. The city is home to many nationalities: Poles, Jews, Lithuanians, Belarusians, Russians, Ukrainians. The city is interesting, pleasant, and only warm memories remain about it.

DiDuLe's first guitar was given to him by his mother when he was five years old. The interest in the instrument was unusual, maybe because there was always someone strumming a guitar in the yard, or maybe because I was generally drawn to music. Like every child, DiDuLi had all sorts of record players as a child, which also had a fairly strong influence. With the very first guitar came the first unobtrusive experiments with sound: a sensor was placed on the guitar, homemade amplifiers were turned on, and all sorts of gadgets were made. For DiDuLi, a period of guitar courses began: the teacher showed what chords existed, how to play, what manners and playing techniques existed. This was the beginning, the first steps in mastering the guitar.

After some time, DiDuLya learned that Belarusian television was holding a competition where interesting young performers of different genres were invited. If you pass the qualifying round, great prospects will open up. He decided to try, and, having collected his things and tools with Dima Kurakulov, he went to another city, where the competition was held. DiDuLya and Dima passed the qualifying round, after which they were invited to filming. It was a great inspiration; the preparation for filming was very serious. To his surprise, having played some of the acoustic things he was accustomed to, DiDuLya went through the next tour and got to the gala concert. This was a great victory and success - the dream of a large audience came true. There we met professional directors and editors; they helped, shared their own experience, pointed out what we should strive for and in what direction to work. The talented Belarusian composer Oleg Eliseenkov played an important role in promoting DiDyuLi at the competition. His help was simply invaluable, his advice was accurate and useful.

But the scope of a sound engineer is becoming too narrow for DiDuLi - I want to do what I love - guitar, composition, sound, arrangement, my own original music. And at the invitation of businessman and pianist Igor Bruskin, he moves to Minsk. Bruskin owns a music salon that sells various instruments. DiDuLya is engaged in consultations and sales there, working with various musical equipment, often travels to Moscow, where, interacting with recording studios, concert halls and other musical organizations where this equipment was supplied, she gains useful experience.

Suddenly, in the wake of the television competition, a small program was organized at the very large festival “Slavic Bazaar”, where all the artists participating in the television competition were invited. Finally, it became possible to make a more serious statement about ourselves - the festival was broadcast to all CIS countries, as well as to Poland, the Baltic states and Bulgaria. This gives DiDula a great incentive to continue working in the direction in which it was carried out, building a clear position - studying instrumental music, guitar, guitar aesthetics, and all this under the slight influence of folk music. DiDuLya also tried to mix electronic music into this to some extent. Visiting the Slavic Bazaar remained a good tradition, even after DiDyuLa moved to Moscow. This period is characterized by DiDuLi working closely with local choreographers, creating unusual and interesting numbers.

But Moscow attracts with its diversity and great prospects. DiDyuLya warmly says goodbye to Igor Bruskin and moves to Moscow. At first it was very difficult - after all, the capital is very specific - it has its own customs, principles, traditions. For a newcomer, this is a completely unusual and unfamiliar city, different people. But the goal, stubbornness in achieving it and faith in success greatly helped to overcome difficulties. The Arbat period began - performances on the street, but not of a ragged street artist, but of a professional musician with good technique and appearance, who played, first of all, for his own pleasure. Here DiDuLya met many people, including Sergei Kulishenko, who at that time held a high commercial position. Although DiDuLya did not easily get close to strangers, against the backdrop of the difficulties that arose, he had to make a choice: either call someone he met, or leave Moscow.

The first person DiDuLa called was Sergei Kulishenko. Sergei wanted to learn to play the guitar, so DiDuLi got his first student. Sergei also showed interest in DiDuLi’s activities, helped with housing and instruments, and paid for the first professional recording at the studio of the wonderful guitarist Mei Lian. A high-quality home recording studio determined the direction of DiDuLi’s further work. Mei Lian's recording went well - eight compositions were recorded, technically everything was at the highest level, although artistically it was not the same. DiDuLya very fondly remembers her communication with Mei Lian, a talented guitarist and composer, a good teacher and a respected friend. DiDuLya, together with Sergei, began to develop the issue of creating their own home recording studio and explored the market for musical equipment. A set of equipment was formed and installed in Sergei’s country house. Serious systematic work began in the field of sound, guitar, exercises, classes, and search. An interesting acquaintance began with the popular music group Arkady. He was an interesting Samara musician, singer, composer; Their joint club performances with DiDyuLei began.

This period of DiDuLi’s creativity is also associated with acquaintance with truly world-famous stars: Placido Domingo, Bryan Adams. The idea of ​​working together with Abraham Russo appears, the goal is to record several songs, DiDuLya acts as a composer, arranger and producer. The work is going very successfully in tandem from Sergei Migachev, Abraham Russo and DiDyuLi, resulting in a large-scale project. The circle of acquaintances with artists is expanding, young performers, bright and interesting people are being attracted to work. Touring activities are expanding, new cities and clubs are being included. During these tours, new instruments are acquired, as well as experience and ideas, which benefits creativity.

An album is born "Road to Baghdad"(the music videos “Leila” and “Arabica” were shot on the tunes from this album). . Complications appear in relations with Prigozhin and his company, Knox Music. At the same time, he met Andrei Konchalovsky and filmed DiDyuLi in his film “House of Fools”. During filming, DiDuLya worked with Bryan Adams, who also took part in the film. In the film, DiDuLya played a guitarist, or, more simply, he played himself. Pirated copies of discs began to appear - undoubtedly, one of the types of recognition of the artist. At one of DiDyuLi’s concerts, Dmitry Malikov invited him to release an instrumental piece together. DiDuLya agreed, the idea of ​​the work was born quite quickly, and thus the composition “Satin Shores” was created. The collaboration with Kristina Orbakaite proceeded in the same vein, and a joint composition was born.

DiDuLya strives to diversify and enrich the palette of sounds in the works she performs, to make her music not only more beautiful, dynamic, lively, but also close and understandable to people. The idea of ​​​​the need to create your own group - a team of like-minded people - comes more and more often, because only with a permanent lineup you can freely travel around the country and give concerts, no longer having to adapt to the work schedule of the invited musicians. DiDuLya begins to look for and select people one by one with whom she could share all the joys and hardships of life “on wheels” - the life of a frequently touring artist. Those with whom one could move to a new stage in creativity. The set begins: bass guitarist Yaroslav Oboldin, keyboardist Alexander Leonov, percussionist Kirill Rossolimo, sound engineer Boris Solodovnikov, drummer Andrey Atabekov have been invited. The group is rehearsing, a program is being prepared, consisting partly of new, partly of old music, supplemented with new colors. We are searching for our own style and continuing studio experiments.

"Legend"(2004) - the first album recorded by the group. Also in 2004, DiDuLi's largest solo concert was successfully held in St. Petersburg. The Oktyabrsky Concert Hall, designed for 4,000 spectators, was overcrowded. On the official website of “Oktyabrsky” you can still see the “DiDuLi” poster after the words “...and new names are rising to the starry horizon”
In 2005, a triumphal concert follows in Moscow, on the stage of the Rossiya State Central Concert Hall. For any artist it is a great success and a great achievement to perform his program in one of such famous and large halls. Undoubtedly, concerts at these venues are also a significant event in the history of the group, for which they spent a long time and diligently prepared.
2006 was a very fruitful year, because... 2 albums were released at once: "Cave City""INKERMAN", from which a video was shot for one of the compositions of the same name, and "Colourful dreams".
The next two discs were released from the “Grand Collection” series (Audio CD - a collection of 19 tracks and an mp3 CD disc).
All DiDyuLi albums published at that time were transferred to the popular mp3 music format in the best quality, starting with "Flamenco", ending "Cave City" Here you can also find all the clips and 2 video clips from the live concert "Live In Moscow", filmed at the Rossiya State Central Concert Hall. The full mp3 version of this concert is also included on the disc. Finally, the long-awaited DVD appears on sale "Live In Moscow"(and a version of the concert on Audio CD), which is a video recording of the Moscow concert.

Compositions from new albums, such as “Cave City Inkerman”, “Parcel from Romania”, “In Exile”, “Circle Dance”, “Colorful Dreams” were included in the updated concert program of the group, with which the musicians first pleased the audience on June 2 2007 in Moscow (concert at the Gorky Moscow Art Theater).
The hype around the album doesn't have time to subside "Colourful dreams", as already in May 2007 a new album was released "Music of an Unmade Movie", recorded with a symphony orchestra. Album "Music of an Unmade Movie" became the group's most unexpected and most discussed project on the site.
The popularity of DiDuLi's music is growing and, accordingly, the geography of tours is expanding - now it is not only Russia, but also the neighboring countries and European countries.
The group takes part in the “Song of the Year” of Belarus - the musical summation of the year, organized by the ONT television company, the names of the participants of which are traditionally determined based on the results of the rating of the country’s leading FM radio stations.
DiDuLi's music is used as a soundtrack for Alexei Kolmogorov's film “Photo of My Girlfriend.” Director Kolmogorov is also shooting a new video clip for the song “Train to Barcelona.”
On March 11, 2008, an agreement was signed with the British Broadcasting Corporation BBC on using two DiDuLi tracks from the album “Colorful Dreams”: "Distant City", "Colourful dreams". Tracks will be used BBC in a five-part documentary “Russia - a Journey with Jonathan Dimbleby” - "Russia - a journey with Jonathan Dimbleby"(producer - George Carey, written by - Jonathan Dimbleby, production company Mentorn Media).

is a completely original Belarusian guitarist whose sincere creativity is unique throughout the entire territory of the former USSR. Live instrumental music naturally intertwined with electronic effects, creating its own emotional world. The sound, like a living wave, gently strengthens in the consciousness, causing admiration and sincere pleasure in the listener, which is unlikely to be forgotten.

Interest in the inner world of the creator of musical worlds, as well as in the creative path that the author traveled before he ended up on stage, prompts us to tell the biography of the string genius.

Mom's gift

Valery was born in the west of Belarus in the city of Grodno. This is where his biography begins - he received a school education and here for the first time he touched the guitar that his mother gave him. A start had been made and from that time on the talented boy’s fingers began to look for ways to revive guitar chords. Valery Didyulya's teachers could not contain their delight and surprise at such an unbridled craving for guitar art.

Spending 8 hours playing, the boy was also keenly interested in the string idols of our time, trying to learn as much as possible about guitar skills. As a teenager, for Didyulya, a real revelation was the discovery of guitar effects that made it possible to transform sound into completely new musical patterns. We can say that with the beginning of experiments, the original style of the future legendary guitarist began to emerge, who touched the hearts of millions of listeners with his creativity. Like a man possessed, he crossed guitar sounds with electronic ones. And soon, the first shoots of his fanatical work began to emerge. And all kinds of gadgets, pickups, sensors and other equipment have become constant companions of the guitar virtuoso.

Valery Didyulya never deviated from his mission and his first professional performance took place as part of the popular vocal and instrumental group “Scarlet Dawns” in Soviet Belarus. The ensemble gave concerts wherever possible! Cities, villages, collective farms and other populated areas heard the play of a third guitarist for the first time, albeit as part of the group, but at the same time as a full-fledged participant. The folk style of playing was popular among village listeners, but the time came when the group began to fall apart. The reason was the collapse of the USSR, with which new horizons opened for any activity. Some musicians opened their own businesses, others left the country, but Didula and here he did not abandon his love for music and continued to work with his guitar creativity.

In the difficult nineties, the musician managed not only to get into the group “Belye Rosy”, which was an order of magnitude higher in professionalism than “Scarlet Dawns”, but also to gain the skills of a sound engineer, whose position in the group was entrusted to Didyula. The performance of folk songs from Poland, Ukraine and Belarus sounded in the “folk” style and this added its own special flavor to the guitarist’s work. Later in his solo performances, folk music repeatedly permeates his compositions, intertwined with guitar and electronic sounds. She takes the listener on a whole new kind of musical journey.

“White Dews” at that time were in demand not only in the territory of the former Soviet Union, but also in Western Europe. Having traveled to Poland, Germany, Italy, France, Switzerland, Spain and other countries, the guitarist caught another sound that harmoniously formed the basis of his work. It was flamenco! The Spanish energy inherent in the guitar rhythms and passages forced the musician to leave the group at the end of the tour and begin studying a new musical movement for the guitar genius.

A star is born

In 2000, the musician finally acquired a fully formed style, which sharply distinguished him from the usual, similar guitar masters. Belarusian-Polish folk motifs, intertwined with house arrangements and hot Spanish flamenco, began to fill the halls with people and the first professional recordings appeared. Having gathered a group of musical like-minded people, Valery Didyulya began giving concerts in Ukraine, Belarus, Poland and Spain, delighting the viewer with the unusual and charged playing of his guitar.

Of course, his musical guardians did a lot to promote the guitarist. Minsk businessman Igor Bruskin and composer Oleg Eliseenko persuaded Didyulya to move to more promising Minsk, where all sorts of competitions and concerts rained down on the guitarist’s head. The musician’s talent was beyond doubt and he received an invitation to perform at the major international festival “Slavic Bazaar”, which gave a powerful impetus to the career of the guitar genius.

After the festival, new horizons opened up for Valery and soon Moscow opened its doors to Didyulya’s creativity. The first studio album was recorded in 2000, under the name “Flamenco”, and then the first video of the performer of guitar compositions appeared. Success inevitably fell on Valery Didyulya and offers of cooperation poured in from Russian pop stars. Among the customers were Abraham Russo, Kristina Orbakaite, Dmitry Malikov and many other famous artists.

In 2002, the guitarist’s new album, “Road to Baghdad,” was released, followed by the album “Satin Shores.” To date, Didyulya has nine albums behind him, each of which is unique and original. The created group, named after the Belarusian guitarist, gives about 120 concerts a year in the CIS countries, invariably delighting the listener with its energetic and sparkling musical colors and compositions.

Having established himself on the musical Olympus, the guitarist also began to engage in production activities, helping, among others, his compatriots. Among Didyuli’s Belarusian protégés is the musician Igor Dedusenko, who released his album with the help of Valery, as well as the blind guitarist from childhood, Denis Asimovich.

Music as science

At the end of the year two thousand, Didyulya continues to experiment with sound, calling his search “sound in sound.” Describing this experiment, Valery Didulya compares this sound with “musical frame 25.” According to him, the sound from this effect becomes voluminous and rich, creating a new background for the composition.

The musician himself is sure that such music causes a burst of energy in the listener, which has a very unique effect on the consciousness and drives away bad and disturbing thoughts. Some doctors and psychologists confirmed this in their observations, calling such music healing.

An autobiography of the musician and his band, expressed in the documentary musical film “Dear of the Six Strings,” is expected to appear soon. The film was shot in the magical places of mountainous Abkhazia and tells about the creativity and everyday life of musicians, accompanied by philosophical and life observations.

The concert, released on June 23, 2009 in St. Petersburg at the Oktyabrsky Concert Hall, leads to the release of the album “LIVE in Saint-Petersburg”. The collector's edition on CD and DVD discs captures a concert that is unique and vibrant with its incendiary energy, which was appreciated by St. Petersburg fans of Didyulya.

February 2010 gives birth to a fresh and bright album called “Fragrance”. The recording of the album involves special wind instruments, including the dudosax, which was given as a gift during the tour performances. The colors of this album are gentle and airy, like apricot color, and immerse the listener in a relaxed atmosphere.

The musician's popularity abroad is also increasing. In 2010, together with a Canadian partner, Didulya created DiDuLa Entertainment Inc, which is designed to popularize the guitarist’s music in Canada and the USA. The concert company is responsible for the preparation and implementation of all live and recorded performances of the string virtuoso, as well as the organization of concert tours and media relations. In September 2010, one of Valery Didyulya’s most successful projects in the Russian Federation was specially re-released for the West - this is the album “CAVE TOWN OF INKERMAN”.

During the interaction with the famous director Alexei Balabanov, Didyulya receives an award in the category “Best Music for a Film”. At the White Elephant 2010 competition, Balabanov’s film “Stoker” was exhibited, which included early compositions by the six-string genius.

The Belarusian guitarist never ceases to support the guitar school of his homeland. So, on August 30, 2012, Didyulya’s production work, Igor Didusenko’s album “Prayer” (2012), was released into the world, and in November of the same year, Denis Asimovich’s official website was launched.

For Didyulya himself, 2012 also turned out to be a very fruitful year. This year, on December 6, the Kvadrosystem company releases a serial album called “Ornamental”, and at the very beginning of 2013 another work by the guitarist called “LIVE in Kremlin” (2013) is released. In 2013, the video editing of the “Music of the Sun” concert, which took place live at the State Kremlin Palace on December 8, 2011, was completed.

The group "Didyulya" is one of the most active instrumental music groups in Russia, which annually give about 120 concerts in Russia, as well as near and far abroad.

Didyulya's creativity is not only an entertaining act of show business, but also carries at its core restorative, harmonious energy! It helps to distance yourself from life's troubles and thanks to this restores emotional balance. Didyuli’s new concert event, entitled “Music Heals,” is a musical spiritual healer who unobtrusively pours a healing instrumental balm into the listener’s subconscious, curing diseases that, in fact, are only a reflection of negative thoughts.

Today, the creative world of Valery Didyuli is expanding in joint work with ex-vocalist of Rainbow and Deep Purple Joe Lynn Turner. The guitarist also plans to interact with Russian musicians and performers, and symphonic music will become a new stage of experimentation on the path of this energetic and talented musician.
