Sevda

Modern and traditional influences are incorporated into the music of the Azerbaijani artist.

Credits:

Modern and traditional influences are incorporated into the music of the Azerbaijani artist. Sevda, who is a successful pop star back home in Azerbaijan, magically blends the flexible modal structures of mugham with tight, jazzy melodies in her songs, and clearly follows in the musical footsteps of Vagif Mustafazadeh and his daughter Aziza. Accordingly, she works with various creative ensembles. Sevda will be accompanied by some of the best performers of classical mugham music. Her latest album accentuates this wonderful fusion of orient and occident. Her strong, virtuoso yet sensual voice is an invitation to come and listen.
