The young performer became widely known after his performance at the Youth Festival in Helsinki in 1962. There he became a laureate, performing the songs "Buchenwald Warning" and "Do the Russians Want War?".
In 1973 Magomayev was awarded the title of People's Artist of the USSR. His repertoire included more than 600 works, among which were Russian romances, classical compositions, pop and Neapolitan songs.
Over the years, the singer has released more than 45 records and 15 CDs. His recordings and concert performances brought him fame far beyond his native Azerbaijan.
The Astrakhan Remembrance Evening was held as part of the events of the Year of Unity of the Peoples of Russia, which was declared 2026. The concert brought together people of different nationalities and faiths, for whom Magomayev’s songs remain part of musical culture.
The meeting ended with an award ceremony. Letters of gratitude for assistance in organizing and conducting the concert were handed over to heads of cultural institutions, soloists and other participants of the creative evening.
