Music of Artsakh

Artsakh is a landlocked region in the South Caucasus. Although regarded by the United Nations as a part of Azerbaijan, it currently claims to be a republic and operates as a part of Armenia.

Many Azerbaijani musicians trace their origins to this region. Shusha, a small city in the western region of Artsakh, has long been considered one of the music centers of Azerbaijan, known as the "Conservatory of the Caucasus".[1]

Amongst the musicians that can trace their origins or families from Artsakh are Uzeyir Hajibeyov (the founder of classical music of Azerbaijan), Bulbul and Polad Bülbüloğlu, the Armenian singer André.
