About Azerbaijan

Azerbaijan is an ancient nation situated beneath the Caucasus Mountains and next to the Caspian Sea. It has a long tradition of hospitality and openness to outside ideas and cultures. Whether through history (Persian, Russian, and Soviet empires), commerce (the Silk Road), or today’s pace of globalization, Azerbaijan is a blend of a number of world influences. This is particularly true in music. Musicians such as Uzeir Hajibayov (opera), Gara Garayev (ballet), and Vagif Mustafazade (jazz) took international musical forms and adapted Azerbaijani themes and rhythms to them. Today, musicians like Ulviyya are carrying on the tradition of preserving traditional themes and using the numerous music influences in Azerbaijan to develop new unique sounds to connect to a widening audience in many countries.
