The Vagif Poetry Days, organized by the Heydar Aliyev Foundation and the Ministry of Culture, kicked off in Shusha on July 18 and continued with a series of colorful events after the opening ceremony.
The day concluded with an ethno-jazz concert held in front of Khurshidbanu Natevan's house.
Jazz musician and pianist, Honoured Artist Emil Afrasiyab, performed a lively program at the concert, accompanied by Honoured Artist Iskander Alasgarov (drums) and Elvin Nabiyev (bass).
Before the concert began, Emil Afrasiyab addressed the audience and spoke about the historical significance of the Vagif Poetry Days in Shusha. He noted that just as free Karabakh is the symbol of modern, independent Azerbaijan, the Vagif Poetry Days are the symbol of the liberated Shusha.
He mentioned that the first ethno-jazz concert in Shusha will remain in the memory of all participants for a long time, and expressed confidence that similar events will be held more often in our fortress city.
Then, interesting performances were presented. The program included "Two worlds", "Extra Trace", "And I Love Her", "Aziza", "Rainy Day", "Letter to Father", "Fantasia", "Prayer", "Nueva" and other musical performances. The audience met the concert with loud applause.
The Vagif Poetry Days will end on July 19.
