Silk Road Festival Comes to Baku

A rich week of jazz and art is coming to central Baku early this December. The music will flow between oriental jazz, electronic and classical, featuring groups and musicians Rain Lab, Asia Tengri & Nazgul Shukaeva, Lebi Derya, Rain Sultanov and Isfar Sarabski, Divan Accoustic and Divan of the Continents. Meanwhile two art exhibitions will explore the unique carpet deformations of Faiq Ahmed and the sounds of Vertigo, which takes inspiration from Eastern classical poetry. A lecture by Berlin-based art collective Slavs and Tatars completes the line-up. For the full schedule, go to www.silkroad-fest.com.
