The Music of Azerbaijan
The Azerbaijanians are a Turkic, Muslim people with a history of Arab and Mongol rule and a language similar to Turkish, but their music belongs primarily to the culture of the Middle East. Included on this varied collection are examples of the ancient virtuosic style called mugam, performed by singers accompanied by the tar (a kind of lute) or full instrumental ensemble, or in solo instrumental form on tar, kamanje (a spike-fiddle) or ud (oud). Here also are examples of the music of the ashug, or folk-singer, as well as heroic and popular dances.

Please note!
Most CDs have been imported from Europe or Asia. They are not all shrink-wrapped, and I am not going to con you by wrapping them here just to make you think they have been sterilized in America. We guarantee that the CDs and the contents are all brand new and in perfect condition. Whenever I can, I use recycled shipping materials. They may not look as pretty on the outside, but they save money and keep the trash dumps a little bit emptier.
