After the concert, Eldar gave an interview to our music publishing house.

— Eldar, we attended your solo concert and we really liked it! Tell me, is it true that it will become your traditional annual concert in Nalchik?

- I'm very glad that you liked it. Yes, I plan to hold a concert in Nalchik every year. My viewers inspire me to do this. But, above all, an annual concert is a great motivation to work fruitfully in order to delight your audience with something new and interesting every time. When you hear a lot of glowing reviews from them, you really want there to be no less next time.

—Which of all your songs is your favorite?

— I find it difficult to answer this question... Each song of which I am the author has different emotions embedded. They are all different, but each is equally valuable. So I can’t single out just one. This comparison may not be appropriate, but they are like children. And parents cannot love some children more and some less.

— During the concert, a touching song was sung - the anthem of the Above the Rainbow Charitable Foundation: “Who else if not us.” I would like to especially mention her. Who wrote this song? Are you collaborating with this foundation?

— The author of the lyrics of this song is Madina Kertieva, and the music and arrangement were written by Anzor Khaupa. It is under the motto “Who else if not us” that Mila Kachlaeva’s foundation “Above the Rainbow” operates. There is no other way to say it. She brought together many people from different fields of activity with the goal of helping sick children. Each of us helps in whatever way we can. Often, help consists of simply having fun with the children: congratulating them on a holiday, happy birthday, etc. For some children who do not leave the hospital 365 days a year, these emotions are sometimes more effective than drugs.

— Eldar, very soon there will be a very important holiday for our entire country - Victory Day in the Great Patriotic War. What does this holiday mean to you? Are you planning to do anything on this day?

— Victory Day is a special holiday for me with a special atmosphere. I would like, firstly, that today's youth, today's children, born and raised in peacetime, never experience the horror of war, and secondly, never forget those who fought, died, and survived in those conditions when it seemed that it was no longer possible to survive.
Am I preparing anything for this day? On the ninth of May, many events take place in our republic, in which I regularly and with pleasure take part. I also have plans to release a song based on the words of Kerim Otarov, “A Soldier’s Letter,” dedicated to the war hero.

— We wish you success in your creativity, strength and creative longevity! And may your path always be illuminated by the guiding star of good luck! Continue to delight us with your wonderful talent and magnificent voice!
