Xamdam Sobirov - 2023 - Tentakcham

Xamdam Sobirov was born on January 6, 1989 in a village in the Navbahor district and graduated from the Tashkent State Art Institute.

In 2011 he founded the vocal trio Mango, with peers Oybek Sangin and Azizxon Saydumarov. It is a pop project over which the three have little control (they are based at Nevo Music, the largest local label together with Riza Nova), but despite a certain diffusion in the media, the hoped-for profits do not arrive, so much so that the artist is going through a period of economic difficulty.

In 2016 Mango disbanded and the following year Sobirov attempted a solo career, initially without particular success, so much so that to support himself he decided to work as an author for the ensemble of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The collaboration ends in 2019, when his popularity finally begins to expand: since then it has been a continuous crescendo, which leads him in 2021 to become the most popular singer of the moment and in February 2022 to release "Tentakcham", a hugely successful single which established itself throughout Central Asia, in the area of ​​the Turkic languages, becoming the most listened to song in Uzbek on YouTube (to date it has over 137 million visits; only recently it was surpassed by another song by Sobirov himself, " Janze").

His fourth studio work was finally released on April 17, 2023 (preceded by an EP and two albums): it contains the single mentioned above, plus others published periodically in the last couple of years.

Sobirov himself composes nine out of thirteen songs (the remaining four are signed by his young colleagues), while the arrangements are almost entirely handled by Doniyor Akhmedov, house producer and member of the Dndm project, which also boasts a cult following in Europe, at least among club music fans.
