BulbuL was a famous Azerbaijani and Soviet opera tenor, folk music
performer and one of the founders of
vocal arts and national musical
theatre in Azerbaijan.
He was known for his musical talent since
his childhood, which is why people nicknamed
him Bulbul ("nightingale" in Azeri
). He chose it as a stage name, when he became involved in professional music.
Bulbul was also known for his music-related
publications and teaching vocal arts at his alma mater,
the Azerbaijan State Conservatoire between 1932 and
1961.
WHO IS BULBUL?
EARLY LIFE
Bulbul was born in 1897 in the village of Khanbagi, located near
Shusha.
While still a young khananda, he was invited to Baku in 1920 to act
out the role of Karam in Uzeyir Hajibeyov's opera Asli and Karam. There he was first introduced to a European-style opera and decided
to excel in this genre.
He later studied music and vocal arts in the Azerbaijan State
Conservatoire (now known as the Baku Academy of Music), where he was admitted in 1921, as well
as in the La Scala Theatre in Milan, Italy.
BULBUL’S ROLE IN AZERI MUSIC HISTORY
As a wonderful singer,in his songs, Bulbul was able to
blend national manners of
performance with traditions of Italian vocal
school.
He was also first to play the lead role of Koroglu in Uzeyir Hajibeyov's opera of the same name in 1938.
Throughout his life, Bulbul was the vocal performer and the co-author of a number of songs and romances.
He acquired a Ph.D. degree in music in 1940.
His monographs nowadays serve as an important
source for those studying Azeri music.
Bulbul was the first musician to publish study guides and manuals used in
teaching students how to play the ta kamancheh and
balaban, the traditional musical
instruments of Azerbaijan.
Bulbul’s active years are often mentioned as 1916-1961.
COMMEMORATION
Bulbul died on 26 September 1961(1961-09-26) (aged 64)
Baku, Azerbaijan.He was buried at the Alley of the Honor.
The Ministry of Culture of Azerbaijan purchased the bronze busts of
Bulbul and several other famous Karabakh Azeris that had once been erected in Shusha, on the
black market in Georgia. Following the Armenian
occupation of Shusha in 1992, these monuments were
machine-gunned, removed from their original place and intended
to be sold as scrap metal. Nowadays these monuments are
preserved in the courtyard of the Azerbaijani Museum of Arts
in Baku.
In 2008 the Central Bank of Azerbaijan minted a 100-manat gold
commemorative coin dedicated to Bulbul.
