""To be a musician, there has to be a fire burning in you," declares Alim Qasimov, Azerbaijan's most beloved traditional singer. In these deeply spiritual recordings of Azeri classical mugham and lyrical bardic songs, Alim merges his own consummate musicianship with that of his talented daughter Fargana, and with the energetic accompaniment of a young ensemble performing on tar, kamancha, balaban, oud, and drums. A bonus DVD offers an intimate portrait of the Qasimovs and their musical lives in Baku, Azerbaijan's capital city. 11 tracks, 70 minutes, 40-page color booklet, photos, musical instrument glossary."
