Yulduz Usmanova
editWhat is her ethnic background? I heard that Yulduz is half Uzbek, but I'm not too sure. 74.121.61.225 00:10, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
"She also has controversial ties to the Uzbek government." - Can someone in the know flesh this out a bit? I heard some of her songs on the 'net, but won't be buying any of her records if she's supporting the repressive government. . . I can't understand the lyrics and don't wish to be secretly brainwashed in Uzbek into being a fascist.
;-)
Thanks!

- I've cleaned up the article. Usmonova is ethnic Uzbek. She does not have controversial ties to the Uzbek government. Actually the Uzbek government doesn't like her for being too liberal. Nataev (talk) 13:34, 25 April 2012 (UTC)
Western recordings
editThe Bilmadim album which she recorded with Jah Wobble and Ernest Ranglin in a week in 2004 is absolutely great. I read a rave review of it in Mojo back then, heard a few tracks on radio and recently bought a copy. Great singing and wonderful, soft bouncy ambient/dub/triphop production that envelops her voice. Does anyone know if she's made more records in Europe, and if Bilmadim has been released in her native country?Strausszek (talk) 17:35, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
- I don't think Bilmadim was released in Uzbekistan. This album is not listed among Usmanova's albums on her official webpage. We should write in the article about this album. Can you help us find a source about Usmonova's Western recordings? Nataev (talk) 13:40, 25 April 2012 (UTC)
She made a pop music video approximately 1991, titled "Two Bum". It aired on World Link TV's World Music show. Still available on YouTube.com.
