Garayev has been released through the initiative of Gulnara
Safarova, an Azerbaijani musician residing in Japan and the head of
the Ongakuno-le music school, with the support of the State
Committee on Work with Diaspora, the committee told Trend.
This is Gara Garayev's first CD to be released in Japan, as well

The compositions featured on the CD were performed by a group of
talented musicians on piano, string, and wind instruments. The

Azerbaijani-Japanese cultural relations, advancing the
international recognition of Azerbaijani classical music, and
broadening awareness of Gara Garayev’s artistic legacy to a global
audience.
