The Yalla band had some changes at the time of collapse of the Soviet Union. The Immigration of Rustam Ilyasov (musical arranger and bass guitar) to the United States and independence of Uzbekistan made Yalla change their songs more local.
Some new hits came out, such as Uzbekistan, Bez lubimyh glaz and some more.
Yalla invited a dancer Roza Abdulhairiva to make a dance show mixed with singing.
Yalla has invited Tolkin Isakov who was a percussion teacher at the Tashkent State Conservatory. He replaced Rustam Ilyasov. Percussionist Ibragim Aliev was an addition to Yalla with a skillful performance on Uzbek national percussion instruments.
It was another pick of Yalla for few years (1994–1999).
