Azerbaijan just makes it into Europe, and gained its independence from the USSR in 1991.
The music in the first clip is a sort of fusion between traditional music and what could be loosely described as Azeri jazz. The player, Enver Sadiqov, used to accompany some Azeri pop stars, but is now better known in his home country as a Garmon player. He also plays various types of music on a Roland PA.
I realise that most people wont jump up and down for this type of music, but it is rather different, so Ive given it an airing.
I first heard Azerbaijani music in Istanbul in 1975/76 and it has sort of stuck with me.
If anybody actually likes the music Ive included another clip of a different Lezginka dance style as played in Azerbaijan. The rhythms and phrasing may be a turn off, as it was with me until I became accustomed to it.
I had intended to post a clip of traditional Azeri garmon music by way of comparison, but it turned out the player and the music was Armenian, so I deleted the post.
