Azerbaijan’s rich musical art has developed over millennia, undergoing a long and remarkable evolution. The earliest information about Azerbaijani music has been obtained from archaeological findings, including the rock carvings of Gobustan (18ᵗʰ–3rd millennia BCE) and Gamigaya (3ʳᵈ–1ˢᵗ millennia BCE). During the Middle Ages,Azerbaijani music continued to flourish. The epic “Kitabi-Dada Gorgud” (7ᵗʰ century) contains references to musical gatherings, the art of the ozan, and the qopuz instrument. Great poets such as Nizami Ganjavi and Muhammad Fuzuli wrote about the profound influence of music on the human soul, various musical genres, and instruments. Music is a unique medium capable of touching the human spirit and influencing it in many different ways.
