Yunus Rajabiy (05.01.1897 - Tashkent - 23.04.1976) composer, singer and musician (flute, dutor), collector of Uzbek musical heritage, People's Artist of Uzbekistan (1953), Academician of the Academy of Sciences of Uzbekistan (1966) Yunus Rajabi first studied at a madrasa, then at the Turkestan People's Conservatory (1919–1923), the preparatory course of the Tashkent Higher Music School (1934) and the composers' course established in Moscow (1940–1941).

Yunus Rajabi collected, systematized and recorded more than one and a half thousand folk songs and instrumental works that have been in the people's memory for many centuries; he preserved them for future generations. In fact, Yunus Rajabi accomplished a feat in the field of preserving folk music, since before the 20th century there was no musical notation in Uzbekistan, and therefore melodies were passed from mouth to mouth, from one generation to another.

At the same time, he studied at school and in a madrasah, graduating in 1913. In the same year his father died. The teenager began to work at the slaughterhouse to financially support the family. While working, he dreamed only of returning home and making music. After a memorable evening in a tea house, he became popular - and famous singers invited him to accompany themselves at holidays and parties. And soon there was a meeting that finally convinced the young man that his vocation was music. In 1916 he met folk singer Shorakhim Shoumarov. Friendship grew into a fruitful creative union.

In his youth, Yunus Rajabi acquired a low baritone with a velvety timbre. Then he began to learn singing from the hafiz, Mulla Tuychi Tashmukhammedov, and soon became his best student, having mastered the technique of singing so much that he even often replaced his teacher in concerts.

Yunus' abilities for organizational and pedagogical activity were also revealed. He found young, talented boys and girls and organized circles, teaching them music. Thus, by the time the People's Conservatory was opened in Tashkent in 1919, he was already an established performer and an experienced teacher.

The mature period of his life came, the period of the rapid flowering of his talents. There is not a single genre to which he has not made his creative contribution. The formation and flourishing of the Uzbek musical drama are inextricably linked with his name.

In collaboration with Russian composers B. Nadezhdin, V. Uspensky, G. Muschel, he wrote music for the dramas "Mukanna", "Kasos", which were successfully staged at the Khamza Theater (Uzbek National Theater) and other theaters. He prepared radio editings of "Navoi", "Mukimi", "Furkat". He creates such large-scale works for the symphony orchestra as "Segokh", "Ferghana Suite". His contribution to the development of opera art in Uzbekistan is enormous. Such famous operas as "Zeynab and Oman", "Nazira" were written with the direct participation of Yunus Rajabi.
