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".

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.
