Azerbaijan’s Folk Music: The Soul of the Nation
Azerbaijan’s folk music is an integral part of the country’s cultural identity, with centuries-old traditions passed down through generations. Music in Azerbaijan is deeply connected to the country’s history, with regional variations reflecting the diverse ethnic groups that have called the land home. Instruments like the tar, kamancha, and balaban provide the haunting melodies that characterize Azerbaijani folk music. One of the most iconic forms of folk music is mugham, a classical music genre that combines poetry and instrumental music. Azerbaijani folk music continues to thrive today, performed at festivals, weddings, and cultural events.
