Azerbaijani Folk Songs

Listen to lovely Azerbaijani folk songs and music with this App

Azerbaijani folk music (Azerbaijani: Az?rbaycan Xalq Musiqisi) combines the distinct cultural values of all civilisations that have lived in Azerbaijan and Iranian

Azerbaijan region

Apart from the common music found all-around Azerbaijan, there are distinct types of folk music, sometimes related to the history or simply the taste of the specific

places

Most songs recount stories of real life events and Azerbaijani folklore, or have developed through song contests between troubadour poets

Corresponding to the origins, folk songs are usually played at weddings, funerals and special festivals

Karabakh has been one of the key areas of Azerbaijani folk music and collection. It had retained a strong tradition of mugham and such as Susanin daglari basi dumanli

and Sari Gelin became vital part of music revival in Azerbaijan

Despite being the centre of both folk revivals and the jazzy folk movement, the songs of Baku were largely neglected in favour of regional and rural music until

relatively recently. Baku, unsurprisingly, was the most common location mentioned in Azerbaijani folk songs, including ?Baki Haqqinda Mahni? (Song about Baku), and the

?Baki, Sabahin Xeyr? (Good Morning Baku)
