Polad Bülbüloğlu - Gel Ey Seher

Musical style

Polad Bulbul-oglu (1945-), Bul-bul's son,
was one of the most famous singers and composers of popular
music in the former Soviet Union.
He is also a talented composer and currently has been assigned as
Minister of Culture in Azerbaijan.
Mugham also spelled as Mugam (Mugam in Azeri) is one
of the many musical traditions of Azerbaijan.
During Mugam the singers have to transform their
emotions into singing and music.
It is a highly complex form of art music (as opposed to folk music)
with specific systems and concepts of musical expression that
demand of its performers a very high standard of professionalism.
This is not to say that traditional folk music is any less demanding in
terms of skills or values! Azerbaijan also has a great tradition of
composers and musicians of western classical music.
Fikret Amirov (1922-1984) was the first Azeri composer of classical
music to write mugams for symphony orchestras.
Such works are obviously very different from traditional mugam formations
but in fact incorporate many mugam idioms.
On the level of musicians there remains a strict separation between
classical and “traditional” music in terms of training.
Even if the musicians are educated at one and the same conservatory
they stick to one camp..
