About Mugham and International Mugham Centre in Baku
Mugham is one of the main genres of Azerbaijani music. In 2005, at the initiative of the President of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation, Mehriban Aliyeva, a decision was made to hold a “round table” with the participation of prominent mugham figures. During the discussions, it was decided to create an International Mugham Centre in Baku. The establishment of the International Mugham Centre was approved by the Decree of the President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev in 2005.
The inclusion of Mugham in the list of masterpieces of the oral and intangible cultural heritage of humanity by UNESCO in 2008 also confirmed the need to create a separate international centre specializing in events to reproduce this genre.
