While not physically in the North Caucasus, the influence of Azerbaijan can be felt throughout region. Stretching from snow-capped mountains to subtropical citrus groves, it is a country of complex history and rich diversity. Today we enjoy the privilege of hearing from a young Azeri tour guide, Tural Omarov, as well as some clips of musical field recordings from Eli’s travels to the capital Baku. As ever, hearing from locals in their own words turns us into students and admirers all over again. Enjoy!
