What do you think are the benefits of Caucasian music?

— The advantage of Caucasian music is its fiery quality. Not a single event or joyful event is complete without everyone’s favorite lezginka. Almost every mountaineer/mountain woman, as soon as they hear such music, involuntarily starts dancing. It's in our blood...

What is your favorite song on the Caucasian stage?

— I love Cherim Nakhushev’s songs, but only those that he performs in the Circassian language. They are imbued with love for their native ethnic group. This is captivating.

What artists are you listening to?

— I have an extremely specific and versatile taste in music. Kuban Cossack Choir, Marvin Gaye, Cesaria Evora, soundtracks by Hans Zimmer, sometimes classical music, Freddie Mercury. The list goes on for a long time.

Basically, I love listening to lyric songs. And the sense of what I listen to is extremely important to me. That is, the songs in the style “I love Masha, she brought sour milk, and we cooked porridge”, no matter how cool they sound, and no matter how megahit they become, I won't listen to a priori.

In conclusion, about the main songs. It is impossible not to mention songs that are associated with some important moments in life. Probably every person has such songs. When you listen to them, you feel sad or sad, happy or longing, depending on the memories that these songs bring up.”
