Agach-Kumuz / Агач-кумуз / Improvisation based on folk music from Dagestan

The Agach-Kumuz is a traditional lute played mainly by the Kumyks in Dagestan. It is related to many other caucasian boat shaped lutes like the avar Tambur, the adygean Apa Pschina or the chechen Dechig Pondar.
It has a high cultural value and is played solistic as well as for accompany singing.

I've been following your channel for a while, and what a great and pleasant surprise it was to see you playing an instrument from my homeland, Dagestan! Our music I feel has been thoroughly neglected and left unexplored by the wider world, and I hope it will soon get the attention it deserves. Thank you very much for your contribution friend

[@markuswach]
