Shahrizoda - 07.Daryo Toshqin

Shahrizoda (Uzbek Cyrillic: Шаҳризода; Uyghur script: شهريزاده) is a music group (guruhi) from Uzbekistan, each line-up consisting of three girls. The group began in 2003 and more than twelve different girls have been part of the group at one time or another. The original trio was intermittently based in Ürümqi, the provincial capital of Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region in Western China.

Their music could be described as traditional ethnic music, ethno-pop and dance pop. The majority of Shahrizoda’s songs are sung in Uzbek, however occasionally they have sung in Uyghur and two songs in Chinese Mandarin.

The name Shahrizoda is the transliteration of the Uzbek and Uyghur variants of Scheherezade, the legendary Arabian princess and story teller of One Thousand and One Nights.

In 2006 the girls released a CD/VCD album called Oynasun, featuring a series of videos shot in various locations across Xinjiang. The song “Oynasun” (Uzbek: O’ynasin), a remake of a popular Uyghur folk song, became an instant hit. A second DVD album (Bilat tilayman) was produced in 2007, containing a couple of songs in Chinese in an attempt to break into the large Han Chinese market. However this album was only moderately successful. In 2010 their third album, Qalb isyoni, was released.

Several new songs have appeared online as of November 2014 and it is unknown whether a fourth album is impending. Few resources are available from Uzbekistan because of limited media coverage. It is difficult to find any information about the girls and any new songs they might have released.

Shahrizoda’s producer is Sa’dulla Abdullayev, and an interview from late 2014 reveals that the group was originally created in order to sing at friend’s weddings! Their producer also says that as the group is women only, it can be hard when they get married and therefore have to leave the group due to family commitments. This would probably explain why there have been so many different girls representing the name.

Shahrizoda is not to be confused with Uzbek singer Shahzoda (aka Zilola Bahodirovna Musaeva), or Uzbek singer Shahrizoda Ahrorxo’jayeva. The latter has several songs on YouTube simply using her first name. You will be able to tell this isn’t the guruhi (group) because it only features one girl singing.
