Concert activity, he began back in 1961, was accompanied by singers. Yu Malikova wanted to create an ensemble of modern youth songs, with fashionable rhythms, but in our country, Russia, lyric and dramatic basis. Since the autumn of 1970. Yuri started to create an ensemble of 'Gems'. At first, performed songs of various composers, made his arrangements of songs by Soviet composers in this style, so it was interesting to young people. From the whole country to send notes, songs. 'Gems' can be regarded as the ancestors of vocal and instrumental genres. They created a romantic image of the singer, but the direction of pop music. In our country, 'Gems' steel, trendsetters in the manner of execution, in appearance, in the songs.

For the first time their appearance was in the garden variety theater 'Hermitage in Moscow in the summer of 1971, and shortly after a successful debut in the radio program' Good morning 'to them played his songs' I'll go eh, eh, I'll go 'and' Uvezu you I'm in the tundra '.

At first, the musicians were selected only on the degree of vocal talent and skill in the possession of the instrument. Later Malikov has become more demanding, seeing how important for Entertainer of its overall culture, character actor data.

Ensemble set out to become a worthy advocate for Soviet Song. With all the difficulties of forming the repertoire, they succeeded. 'Gems', singing modern poems set to music, have for younger audiences fascinating conversationalist, a good partner. Songs: "For that guy '(music. M. Fradkin, lyrics. R. Rozhdestvensky), 'Good signs' (music. M. Fradkin, lyrics. E. Dolmatovski), 'Verba' (music. V. Shainsky, sl. V. Urine), 'There, behind the clouds' (music. M. Fradkin, lyrics. R.

Y 'gems' quickly formed their own performing tradition: the predominance of light lyrical chant, accompanied by a dynamic pulsating.

Orchestral multicolor back 'full circle', and voice tools, zamolkshie was, at the time of electron-guitar yoke once again been reinstated.

In terms of musical variety, 'Gems' continued the line of 'ensemble of soloists', the beginning of which we have, we can see more in jazz L. Utesov, and then - in the orchestra O. Lundstrem, vocal groups, the first of the 'Friendship' or 'Orera'. On the other hand, Malikov experimented in the field of convergence of vocal and instrumental voices, which also had its roots (for example, in the orchestra SW. Saulsky 'VIA-66'). 'Gems' looking for a special warehouse Polyphonic. And so in their first composition, too, found some 'zest'. Together with Yu Malikov, S. Berezin, Y. Peterson, G. Zharkov, V. Deacon, A. and Yu Mogilev Genbachevym sang here Shachneff I.. It was not a copy of the old accords 'Friendship', where the female voice soloist, shaded flexible masculine timbre background. The young musicians from Moscow, the combination of a female voice with an ensemble of male, . gave the exact effect: it 'Gems' lead vocal line, . in which all the sounds seemed to coalesce at the take-off - in the high register (functions as bass tones and contrast are given the tools),
. Extending this line, which originated in the work of big-bit groups, 'Gems' sought exclusive expression in the singing.

And each time, especially the 'locale' demanded of its executors of organics, other mode of communication with the public, the exact approach to the sound of activity or sensitivity of the playing song. 'Gems' sought to build a concert on the logic of musical form. Harmonious program was framed by a prologue and epilogue, where the melody sounded D. Tuhmanova and V. Kharitonov 'My address - the Soviet Union'. 'Gems' not only singing, but also commented on his statement, refusing the services of entertainers and intrusive service 'bundles'. Director's concert included the construction of accurate light accents, emphasizing the movement of programs, gives it an atmosphere of attention and concentration, and, where necessary, and strongly break the rhythm of action and mood. Born theater songs 'gems'.

In the early 90's, when life in Russia has changed, the creative activity of the ensemble fell, it seemed that dried up the creative potential.

Old songs got a second life and have become popular again, not only among older people, but young people.

'Gems' and revived. We serve two groups of soloists of the ensemble: I. Shachneff, V. Dyakonov, V. Belyanin and Presnyakov, O. Sleptsov, A. Nefedov, G. Vlasenko.
