Abstract

There are several towns, each stone, each fortress, in the world the whole aura of which are saturated with music. There are such towns as Vienna in Austria, Naples in Italy as well as Shusha in Garabagh. Shusha is just considered as a conservatoire of the Caucasus. Brilliant messengers of this conservatoire representing Azerbaijani music with dignity in all parts of the world has brought it the world reputation and fame. Shusha is a native land of splendid musicians, performers – Mir Mohsun Navvab (the author of the treatise“ Vizuhilargam”), Kharrat Gulu, Haji Husi, Sadykhjan, Mashadi Isi, Abdulbagi Zulalov (Bulbuljan), Jabbar
Garyagdyoglu, Kechachi oglu Mohammad, Mashadi Mammad Farzaliyev, Islam Abdullayev, Seyid Shushinski, Bulbul, Zulfi Adygozalov, Khan Shushinski, Mashadi Jamil Amirov, Gurban Primov. They have created a famous mugham school in the Near East. Shusha is also a native land of famous composers – Uzeyir Hajybayli, Zulfugar Hajybayov, Fikrat Amirov, Niyazi, Afrasiyab Badalbayli, Sultan Hajybayov, Ashraf Abbasov, Suleyman Alaskarov, Vasif Adygozalov, singer Rashid Beybutov. It is not a
full list of famous musicians of Shusha. Near 30 years, our earths, a number of regions of Garabagh, as well as Shusha – the cradle of our music were occupied by Armenians invaders and were under their yoke. And why all these years of occupation one famous Armenian musician didn’t appear here? Because it is impossible to deny genetic code. We are sure that after returning these earths, natives – Azerbaijanis, here again will begin to sound mugham, grow generations of remarkable khanende, sazende and a group of talented Azerbaijani composers and musicians. “Garabagh is Azerbaijan!” – a winged slogan of the President Ilham Heydar oglu Aliyev, accompanied the whole war inspiring everybody. The people believed that the war will end in the near time with brilliant victory of Azerbaijan. Garabagh and the temple of Azerbaijani music, the capital of our culture Shusha returned to Azerbaijan forever.
