The origins of Azerbaijan music can be traced to ancient times. The influences of Greek, Zoroastrian, Persian and Kurdish cultures have created over the centuries a fiery musical alchemy -- the monumental repertoire known as the Mugam.

French ud player Marc Loopuyt studied from masters in Morocco and Turkey and formed Yanar Dar (it means Fire Mountain) with musicians from the Baku area of Azerbaijan. The instrumentation comes from three stringed instruments-- kemantche, ud and tar--and a large frame drum. The impassioned vocals of Sevintch Sariyeva make much use of the remarkable ‘tahrir’ effect.

Reviews

fRoots

The album belies its rather dull cover design by being very good indeed. This group is definitely worth looking out for and not least for the full and passionate delivery of the singer Sariyeva.

Songlines - Simon Broughton

The instrumental playin is magnificent - full of colour and texture - and the way the instruments interact with each other the voice is superb.
