His voice of almost three-octave range is capable of conveying drama, passion, or moving the listener by melancholy, or captivating by bright virtuosity. Gochag Askarov comes from Karabakh, a fabulous mountain area of Azerbaijan, which is famous for its musicians and, especially, for good singers. A gift of beautiful voice has been generously distributed among the members of his family but he was the only one of them who chose the career of singer.
