Daleru Nazarov was awarded the first state prize

Famous singer and composer at the age of 65 received his first award – the Abuabdullo Rudaki Prize.

The modest award ceremony was conducted by the assistant to the President of Tajikistan. Earlier, on September 4, Emomali Rahmon presented state awards and prizes to dozens of recipients at the Palace of Nations in Dushanbe, but Daler Nazarov was not present there.

The Abuabdullo Rudaki Prize in the field of literature, art, and architecture was established in 1963. It is awarded annually to the most prominent figures in literature and culture. This award has been given to Mirzo Tursunzade, Mumin Kanoat, Loik Sherali, Bozor Sobir, and dozens of poets and writers.

Daler Nazarov is one of the few singers in Tajikistan who is known beyond the country’s borders and is still considered popular.

He has also appeared in several films.

Famous songs by Daler Nazarov include “Chak-chaki boron”, “Majnunam kardi”, “Zebo ba zebo”, “Dukhtari dekhkon”, etc.

Daler Nazarov himself has repeatedly told the media that he does not need an award.
