YARAT Contemporary Art Space presents in the framework of Freestyle program the live performance by “East or West” band. The group “East or West” pleases the audience with their creativity since 2011. The group considers it its goal to popularize national instruments (tar, kamancha, accordion), and seeks to revive the interest in national instruments in the young generation through performing Western hits.
Since their inception, the team managed to take part in several concerts and festivals, one of which took place in Turkey, in the city of Yalova, in 2012.
The team received the Golden Carnation Prize at the traditional festival of International Folk Dances and Music in “The Most Creative Musical Band of the Year” category.
One of the main achievements of “East or West” was the receipt of an official license from Sony Music and Warner Music companies to perform singles by Rihanna, Sia and Bruno Mars band.
East or West is the first among instrumental groups from Azerbaijan, who obtained this right along with the opportunity to public their versions of famous songs on Amazon, Google Music and Spotify.
