Experience the pulse of Caucasus with this recording - the most authentic collection of Azerbaijani music, preserving centuries-old classical traditions that were nearly lost to time

Labyrinths of musical sentences, rich technique and resonant tremolo that carries away to cosmic horizons - these are just few elements of the vivid musical story told by Elkhan Mansurov in his performances. 

Born into a musical dynasty, Elkhan Mansurov belongs to the Mansurov lineage of the tar (long-necked lute) that originated several centuries ago. As the main successor of the Mansurov lineage today, Elkhan Mansurov continues to guard and transmit the musical secrets of Azerbaijani modal repertoire called Mugham. His performance style can be described as classical and authentic: a precious remnant of local traditions that withstood even the most drastic changes and reforms.
