Description:

We should all be more than a little surprised!　Azerbaijani father and son with the world's strongest singing voice Alim Gasmov (born in 1957), a male singer whose two previous Rice Records releases, "The Soul of Azerbaijan" (NWR-760) and "Azerbaijan's Pride " (NWR-5041), have been long sellers. The duo recording was made in 2005 by Alim Gasmov (born in 1957), a male singer, and his beautiful daughter Farghana (born in 1979), who was also featured in both of their albums. Alim Gasmov is a male singer from the former Soviet republic of Azerbaijan. Alim is one of the best male singers in the field of vocal music in Azerbaijan, a country that was once under Arab rule and still retains a strong Islamic culture, and is known for its unique classical music called "mugam. Alim is the best male singer in Azerbaijan's proud vocal field of music. Alim's daughter, Fargana, has become an indispensable partner. Although she is already a mother, her singing voice has become more and more refined, and she is even a threat to her father. This work informs us that the Mugam sung by these two has reached such a high level of spirituality and elegance that it can now be called divine. The duo sings with the accompaniment of traditional Azerbaijani instruments such as daf (frame drum), kamancha (stringed instrument), and tar (stringed instrument). The fist-pumping singing is in the same class as that of Salih Keita and Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. In addition to a 40-page, full-color booklet, the accompanying DVD (with English subtitles) includes performance scenes, interviews with the two musicians, and the beautiful Azerbaijani landscape. Folkways is indeed a great company that conveys the splendor and mystique of Azerbaijani music. And please pay great attention to Gasmov and his son, who boast of their amazing singing voices!
