Great video, Roy. Thank you for the post!

[Roy Bland]

Would it not be better to start a dedicated thread rather than posting under Amirov?

[Roy Bland]

I could agree but it is not necessary that i make it and then moving  posts could cause confusion

Sounds excellent!

In which case, this ceases to be a meaningful Amirov thread. Not my circus, I guess.

Azerbaijan is an amazing country, and I was happy to have the chance to spend some time there and visit many parts of the country. The culture is incredible, including the music. I am especially fond of traditional mugham, which boasts many fascinating performers in this genre.

I'll add that I'm very pleased that, after 30 years of occupation of a significant part of Azerbaijan by Armenian/Russian aggressors, justice has finally been restored: Azerbaijan has driven out the invaders and regained its sovereignty in full.

I didn't open the topic, but we can ask to  moderator and as you can see here
the shift in discussion to Azerbaijani music in general precedes my arrival

No personal criticism of you, Roy.

It just seemed a little odd to me to open up a composer thread in this way 🤔🙂
