The art of kamancha performance is an integral sample of Azerbaijan's cultural heritage, and it has been an expression of the people's spirituality for centuries.
In listening to its wonderful voice, one senses the subtle particularity of the East and its strong effect on the human spirit.
Various of Azerbaijan’s musical compositions reflect the kamancha’s indispensable contribution to social gatherings.
Making this instrument itself demands high skill.
There are many musical maestros today who are keeping the tradition alive and passing it on to future generations.
Teaching the playing of the kamancha and transmitting its secrets to new generations continues in master classes at the highest level.
Best known as an integral member of the traditional Azerbaijani mugham trio, the kamancha is also widely used in larger ensembles.
The inclusion of the multinational nomination of "The making and playing of the kamancha string musical instrument" on the UNESCO Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity confirms the instrument’s great value.
