The Music Lovers Club: 12 years of Sustainable Cultural Activity

On the International Museum Day in May 2008The Museum of Musical Culture of Azerbaijan launched the Music Lovers Club.

AZERBAIJANI FOLK DANCES


The Museum of Musical Culture of Azerbaijan organized a lot of events dedicated to the six Azerbaijani musical phenomena which have been included to the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Heritage of Humanity. One of them was YALLII (Kochari, Tenzere), Azerbaijani traditional group dances of Nakhchivan. Yalli, traditional group dances, are dance expressions based exclusively on collective performances. Typically, yalli are performed in a circle, chain or line, and involve elements of games, pantomime (bird or other animal imitations), physical exercises and movements. The community of the yalli dances consists of practising dancers, who enact the dances either spontaneously or in a planned manner at various festivities and celebrations. Some variants of yalli bear a song-like character and are practised by both women and men, while others are practised by men only and imitate pastoralist games with some elements of butting animals.
