BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 31. The 9th Kharibulbul
International Music Festival, organized by the Heydar Aliyev
Foundation and the Ministry of Culture, will take place in Shusha
on May 14–15, Trend
reports.
This year's festival will also be remembered for its engaging
program and performances by talented artists from around the
world.
One of the festival’s main goals is to promote cultural dialogue
and foster creative exchange among musicians. To this end, in
addition to Azerbaijani performers and musical ensembles, artists
from the United States, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan,
Japan, and other countries have been invited to the “Kharibulbul”
International Music Festival, a significant cultural event.
The festival starts on May 14 with a concert at Jidir-Duzu. The
event will last two days and take place at several locations in
Shusha.
The “Kharibulbul” Music Festival, named after a flower that
symbolizes Shusha, has been held since 1989. That May, the festival
was organized to mark the 100th anniversary of the renowned
khanende, educator, and People’s Artist Seyid Shushinsky in the
village of Abdal Gulabli in the Aghdam District; it continued in
Shusha and concluded with a final concert in Aghdam.
Since 1990, the festival has gained international status. During
the Karabakh conflict, the festival’s main concerts were held in
Aghdam. Some concerts were also held in Barda and Aghajabedi.
Following the historic victory in the Patriotic War and the
liberation of our lands from occupation, the festival returned to
Shusha. Some of the festival’s concerts were also held in the city
of Lachin.
This festival of friendship and music, featuring numerous
musicians from around the world, not only helps preserve the rich
traditions of our cultural heritage but also contributes to
strengthening intercultural dialogue.
