Azerbaijan attends 9th International Music Festival ‘Sharq taronalari’ in Uzbekistan
Baku, August 27 (AZERTAC). Azerbaijani delegation is participating in the 9th International Music Festival ‘Sharq taronalari’ in Uzbekistan.
Music contributes to the enrichment of man’s spiritual world, inspires to noble deeds and fills the soul with radiant thoughts, what is proved by ‘Sharq taronalari’.
‘Sharq taronalari’ (‘Melodies of the Orient’) is the international music festival, held by initiative of President Islom Karimov who is believer of promoting cultural heritage of Central Asia especially of Uzbekistan.
Hence, preparation of the last inauguration of IX International Music Festival is currently going on in the main arena of the festival, located on the Registan Square where over 500 people, famous singers and almost 20 amateur groups of the country are taking part.
It should be noted that the musicians of only 31 countries participated in the first festival in 1997. As a matter of fact, this number increased up to now and the representatives of over 50 countries, including Madagascar, the USA, Spain and many others are taking part in the festival. Above all, almost all the best artists from Tashkent, Navoi, Samarkand and other regions of Uzbekistan, will demonstrate their skills.
The basic idea of ‘Sharq taronalari’ is to call to beauty and nobility, likewise maintenance and development of a unique musical heritage and traditions of the peoples of the world. International Festival held once in two years at the beautiful land, brings nations and peoples together. It brings together to a single purpose people with different languages, culture and national values on the path.
Samarkand, known as the ‘Decorating the face of the Earth’ has always been a centre of science and enlightenment in the East. I would like to note that there are very few cities equal to Samarkand by antiquity and beauty.
