Song title : Canim gözüm Efendim

عالیم قاسمف معروفترین خواننده موسیقی مقامی
آذربایجان است. و یکی از نوابغ زنده موسیقی مشرق زمین است که جایزه معتبر موسیقی یونسکو را در سال ۱۹۹۹ به خاطر یک عمر فعالیت از آن خود کرد.
شیدایی و عشق خالص در این صدای ملکوتی موج میزند.
وقتی میشنوم نوای او را نمیدانم از خوش حالی است که می گریم یا از غم....
عالیم قاسمف به عنوان گنجینه زنده فرهنگی آذربایجان شناخته شده است. و چه زیبا ست این قدر دانی بزرگان در زمان حیاتشان.

و هزاران افسوس که در کشور ما چگونه با گنجینه های زنده فرهنگی رفتار میشود
به قول عالیم قاسمف ؛ امان از درد و پریشانی ....
چاره ای بیاندیش
و تدبیر درمانی

با مهر و احترام

Alim Gasimov is a prominent mugham singer named a "Living National Treasure" of Azerbaijan. He has been passionate about mugham since his early childhood, but initially Qasimov sang mugham solely for his own enjoyment. Only at the age of nineteen, after having held various jobs as an agricultural worker and driver, did he decide to pursue a career in music. Qasimov studied at the Asaf Zeynalli Music
College (1978-1982) and the Azerbaijan University of Arts (1982-1989).
His teacher was well-known mugham singer Aghakhan Abdullayev. Qasimov's first remarkable international success occurred in 1988 when he won first prize at the International Festival and Symposium on
Traditional Music in Samargand, Uzbekistan. Since then, he has been traveling worldwide to spread the art of Azerbaijani mugham.
Alim appears on 12 CDs released in Europe and the United States, on one of them, Love's Deep Ocean (1999, Network Medien, Frankfurt, Germany) together with his daughter and student Fargana Qasimova.
In addition to performing with the Silk Road Ensemble, Qasimov performs with the Kronos Quartet as part of his collaboration with the Aga Khan Initiative in Central Asia.
Qasimov has performed on Azerbaijan's most prestigious stages, such as the Heydar Aliyev Palace and the Azerbaijan Philharmonic Hall. Since 1989, he has been a soloist at the Azerbaijan Opera and Ballet Theater.
Qasimov teaches mugham classes at the Asaf Zeynalli Music College and the Azerbaijan National Conservatory.
Qasimov perceives and presents mugham not only as an ancient art and a part of Azerbaijan's musical and cultural heritage but also as a constantly developing tradition. His performing style is unique, as it combines deep knowledge of centuries-old rules of mugham with challenging innovations. It is distinguished by extreme intensity, which takes audiences to a spiritual world. Qasimov's approach to mugham is far from conservative, and he willingly juxtaposes mugham with other music styles, such as jazz and contemporary composition.In 1999, in recognition for his musical contributions to world peace, Qasimov was awarded the coveted International IMC-UNESCO Music Prize. Past winners of this prize include Yehudi Menuhin, Ravi Shankar, Olivier Messiaen and Daniel Barenboim. Qasimov's numerous awards also include the title of the People's Artist of Azerbaijan, the highest artistic rank in the country. In 2007, on the occasion of Qasimov's 50th birthday, the President of Azerbaijan awarded him the Medal of Glory.
