the official video

 

[Gerly]

I so love this song. And Video is of course great too.
It's one of the best ballads in this year.

I wish Azerbaijan good luck. Hopefully they'll do better than Norway in 2010.

 

[Centrix]

Oh! This is great!

She looks great, one of the better looking females of this year's ESC (I guess my second after Eleftheria).

I got curious about the mentioned national instruments and did a research, because I know kamancha is an Iranian string instrument, but I have never heard of "balaban."

... Well, apparently "balaban" is what they call Armenian duduk in Azerbaijan.

Balaban is not the Armenian instrument, it is the Turkish musical instrument and in the result of its spreading it had been used in different countries and one of them is Armenia where its name had been changed to duduk. The word duduk has also the Turkish origin as most of the Armenian words. That is why be fair while talking about such things.
The word balaban is originated from the junction of two Turkish words: BALA (small) and BAN (sound). As a result balaban means sadly sounding mellow timbre. Balaban had been spread to large territories and countries since its origination and it led to changing of the instrument’s appearance. These are different names of the instrument and countries where it is used:
Azerbaijan-Balaban
Dagestan – Balaban
China – Guanzi
Armenia – Duduk
Georgia – Duduki
Turkey – Mey
Korea – Khuanpiri
Iran – Balaban
Uzbekistan – Balaban (Bulamon)
Karakalpakstan – Balaman
Kyrgyzstan – Kamish Sirnay
Japan – Khichiriki

I changed my mind after a couple of listenings. It´s a song that grows on you and i can say she is the best singer Azerbaijan has ever send. The song for sure is top 10 material!!!!
One of the best ballads of this contest!

Karakalpakstan – Balaman

Hmmm, i'm sorry to break into your discussion, i know nothing about balaban/duduk but i know that armenian language and alphabet were there long before turks, maybe for the past centuries it was influenced by turkish language since the countries are close but not as much to dare to say that "most of the armenian words are of turkish origin"

These are two totally different independant languages and they belong to totally different language families.

And btw, what is Karakalpakstan

 

[Galandar]

Stop political discussions and discussions on what belongs to whom here!!! It is such a shameful situation that this kind of discussions come back over and over Look at other topics, no other nations do it as much as Azerbaijan and Armenia do! This is getting or even alredy got very annoying

 

[daniel]

too many ballads this year ... we will all fall asleep .... they are all very good ...but how we will make the difference??

 

[Luki]

Ok, this sounds familiar. Like I heard it before, but I quite like it. 6 pts.

 

[RainyWoods]

Gosh the video is beautiful. Finally a entry from Azerbaijan I can appreciate. It certainly is a beautiful song. There may be many ballads this year but at least there is not a disney one amongst them. Most this year are very sophisticated and strong.

[evilperson]

The video is nice. Simple and classy.
