Gochag Askarov (Azerbaijan)
As a figurehead of Azerbaijani mugham music – classified by UNESCO as a masterpiece of the world’s verbal and non-material heritage – Gochag is a singer of extraordinary ability. Backed by centuries-old instrumental motifs, his voice makes a plaintive sound that recalls the late, great Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.
