Мамед Багир - Песни Алекпера Тагиева

Review by Martha Pincoffs

Mamed Bagir's album "Песни Алекпера Тагиева" showcases the Azerbaijani musician's talent and passion for traditional folk music. The album features 11 tracks, each one a tribute to the work of legendary singer and songwriter Alekper Tagiyev.

From the opening track "Gel Yanima" to the closing "Yalvariram," Mamed Bagir's vocals are powerful and emotive, bringing new life to Tagiyev's classic songs. The instrumentation is equally impressive, with traditional Azerbaijani instruments like the tar and kamancha adding depth and texture to the music.

One standout track is "Azerbaycan," which features a stirring chorus and a driving beat that will get listeners up and dancing. Another highlight is "Goycay," a haunting ballad that showcases Bagir's range and versatility as a vocalist.
