memory of the people, the most important tools to protect its spiritual identity. The few people living in
Azerbaijan – Lezgians, avars, sahurlar, ruthies, tatlar, wanders and other ethnic groups were transferred from
generation to generation through centuries. These peoples are closely related to the epics, tales, bayati and
songs, as well as the ceremonial folklore with their lifestyle, economic occupation and religious beliefs. Especially for labor songs, samples of folk music performed in weddings and ceremonies, narrations reflecting
mythological imagination demonstrate the moral and cultural diversity of these peoples.
