Music from Azerbaijan, Beethoven, and more

Welcome to today's show! A lot of music from Azerbaijan in the first hour focused on the Kamancha of Imamyar Hasanov from his recent album with Persian percussionist Pejman Hadadi. Adding in the powerful vocals of Alim Qasimov and his daughter Fergana and other Azeri musicians. The 2nd half of the show will be guided somewhat by the sound of the bowed Kamancha.

After the screeching fire of Imamyar Hassanov's Kamancha, we continue the next set with more music from Azerbaijan, but this more jazz and western classical inflected music with piano and other western instruments added to the Azeri mix.

There was an ad playing on CKCU recently which featured some music I recognized, I knew it from a soundtrack, but I couldn't place the film or composer. I finally found it, a joyful, infectious tune by Hans Zimmer for the film True Romance.
