YARAT Contemporary Art Space is delighted to invite everyone the life music evening, which will be held on August 31, 2016.

The guest of this evening is Araz Humbatli, who is the French and Azerbaijani musician, talented composer and also Azerbaijani representative in the Voice France 2016.

From early childhood Aras had great passion to music. At 11 he took saxophone classes and had his first solo show in 2006. A year later, Araz founded “Red Sky” rock-group, with whom he produced his first album. During Araz’s years in France, he returned to his ethnic roots. This resulted in his decision to take tar lessons upon his return to Baku. His musical style can be defined as ethno-fusion-psychedelic genre. Araz Humbatli has met with great success performing our national songs abroad. According to Araz, his songs take listeners on a journey through our spirituality.

The venue is YARAT Contemporary Art Centre, Multifunctional Room. Entrance is free.

YARAT is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to nurturing an understanding of contemporary art in Azerbaijan and to creating a platform for Azerbaijani art, both nationally and internationally. Based in Baku, YARAT (meaning CREATE in Azerbaijani) was founded by Aida Mahmudova in 2011.

YARAT realizes its mission through an on-going program of exhibitions, education events and festivals. YARAT facilitates exchange between local and international artistic networks including foundations, galleries and museums. A series of reciprocal residencies further fosters opportunities for global cultural dialogue and partnership. Educational initiatives include lectures, seminars, master classes, and the Young Artist Project ARTIM (meaning PROGRESS in Azerbaijani).
