The Soviet stage was rich in talents. Muslim Magomayev, Alla Pugacheva, Joseph Kobzon, Andrei Makarevich, Sofia Rotaru, Nikolay Gnatyuk, Yuri Antonov - these megastars were lit up in the 70s. Among them, Alexander Buynov took his place, to whom the article is devoted.
Childhood and youth. First marriage
Sasha was born on March 24, 1950 in Moscow. His father is a Soviet pilot, his mother is a hereditary noblewoman, a musician by training, she graduated with honors from the conservatory.
The boy had 2 older brothers. The five of them occupied a small room in a communal apartment, where in addition to a desk and a cabinet there were two-story bunks. The piano occupied an honorable place.
All the boys received a musical education. Sasha graduated from a seven-year piano school at the Tchaikovsky Moscow State Conservatory. Due to the restless nature, the younger Buynov Alexander learned music lessons harder than his brothers, but only he could succeed in this field.
Sasha's youth was bright. He was friends with hooligans, fought, tried to smoke, and, together with bad friends, beat lights, after which he fled from the policemen with a laugh. Once they made a carbide bomb. This prank almost cost Sasha the sight.
An army pulled him out of the street, where he served for 2 years. While serving in the missile forces in Altai, he managed to get acquainted with the girl Lyubov Vdovina from a neighboring village and marry her. The marriage lasted only 2 years, and after the divorce in 1972, Buinov Alexander again became free.
At the dawn of the road
The first attempts in the musical field, Sasha did at school. In the 9th grade, he organized the “Anti-anarchists” courtyard ensemble, after which he tried himself as a keyboard player in the “Buffoons” group. Here he first declared himself as a talented composer, putting the words "Silk Grass" and "Mommy Nursed Me" to the music.
The Buynov Jr. ensemble left in connection with the appeal. He returned to music immediately after the army, graduating from the Gnesins' school.
He was invited to the group "Araks", then he played in the VIA "Flowers". He was fond of, like most young people of his time, rock and roll, pop, legendary “Beatles”.
The heyday of the musical field. Second and third marriage
Truly Buinov, Alexander began to grow as a singer, composer and musician after joining the band "Funny Guys" in 1973, where he played keyboards. Long 16 years, Alexander Buynov did not leave the group. Songs of the vocal and instrumental ensemble won all-Union fame and popular love. A lot of songs - "We are wandering artists", "Do not worry, Aunt", "Cars", "People meet", "Sveta Sokolova", "Bologoe", "Dad, give me a doll" and dozens became hits.
During this time, the performers recorded records: “Funny Guys”, “The Musical Globe”, “Wait a minute!”, “Love is a huge country”, “We need to be friends”, “Discoclub-2” and one of the first magnetic albums for that time cassette recorder "Banana Islands".
VIA participated in many national and international competitions. As part of the Buynov ensemble, Alexander visited Germany, Czechoslovakia, Cuba, Hungary and Finland.
While working in Cheerful Guys, Alexander Buynov, whose biography and personal life is keenly interested in his fans, was married to Lyudmila. From his second marriage (1972-1985), his daughter Julia was born. For all the time, Buinov Jr. did not prove himself as an exemplary family man. He had many extramarital affairs.
In 1985, he married for the third and last time. His chosen one was the cosmetologist Alena Gutman. The woman also had a stormy life full of novels. Maybe that's why she knew how to tame a womanizer?
Despite Alexander's assurances that in his third marriage he finally found happiness and peace, in 1987 he had an illegitimate son Alex.
Solo career
After Buinov Alexander left VIA, he became in 1989 the lead singer and vocalist of the Moscow concert association Era. In 1991, as a singer, he signed a contract with the company "ARS".
In parallel, the artist studied at the Russian Academy of Theater Arts, which he graduated in 1992 as a stage director. He directed the performances of the musical ballet group "Rio", the ensemble "Chao", programs with the participation of Igor Krutoy, as well as his own concerts. Buinov, as a soloist, released 16 albums, the latest, Rio Love and Two Lives, in 2010 and 2012.
In 1995, he was invited with his program to a Christmas concert in Latvia, and in 1996 he took part in the American event "Song of the Year in New York" and continued to tour actively.
He talentedly directed many domestic videos - "Parallel Paths", "Sit-and-Hold", "Empty Bamboo", "Dance with Me" and others.
In 1998, Buinov voiced the role of the villain in the full-length American animated film "Anastasia - the daughter of the Romanovs."
Currently
The trouble was the detection of an oncological disease in Buinov, but after the operation, the artist feels satisfactory and continues to work actively. In many ways, his wife Alain helps. In addition to pop, Buynov performs a lot at corporate parties.
Today, Alexander already has a grandson, who gave him a daughter, Julia. The relations of his children with his third wife are normal. Unfortunately, Buinov Jr. does not communicate with older brothers.
