Lök-Batan Folklore Group - The Music of Azerbaijan
[EUCD1650]

Azerbaijani traditional music, played on tar (long-necked lute), kamancha (spike fiddle), kanun (zither), nagara (drum), garmon (piano accordion) and keyboards plus two singers—a male voice and the absolutely astounding vocals of the fourteen-years-old Zülfiya Mamedova. An excellent, spirited album; a mix of sung and instrumental pieces, including a solo piece each for kamancha and garmon. Lots of information about the country and the music.
