Don’t miss music night with Araz Humbatli
YARAT Contemporary Art Space is delighted to invite everyone the life music evening, which will be held on August 31, 2016.
The guest of this evening is Araz Humbatli, who is the French and Azerbaijani musician, talented composer and also Azerbaijani representative in the Voice France 2016.
From early childhood Aras had great passion to music. At 11 he took saxophone classes and had his first solo show in 2006. A year later, Araz founded “Red Sky” rock-group, with whom he produced his first album. During Araz’s years in France, he returned to his ethnic roots. This resulted in his decision to take tar lessons upon his return to Baku. His musical style can be defined as ethno-fusion-psychedelic genre. Araz Humbatli has met with great success performing our national songs abroad. According to Araz, his songs take listeners on a journey through our spirituality.
The venue is YARAT Contemporary Art Centre, Multifunctional Room. Entrance is free.
