An ashik (Шаблон:Lang-az, Шаблон:Lang; Шаблон:Lang-tr; Шаблон:Lang-fa—all from Шаблон:Lang-ar) or ashugh (Шаблон:Lang-hy; Шаблон:Lang-ka)[1]Шаблон:Rp[2][3] is traditionally a singer-poet and bard who accompanies his song—be it a dastan (traditional epic story, also known as hikaye) or a shorter original composition—with a long-necked lute (usually a bağlama or saz)[4]Шаблон:Rp in Azerbaijani culture, including Turkish and South Azeribaijani[4] and non-Turkic cultures of South Caucasus (primarily Armenian and Georgian).[5]Шаблон:Rp[6]Шаблон:Rp[7][3] In Azerbaijan, the modern ashik is a professional musician who usually serves an apprenticeship, masters playing the bağlama, and builds up a varied but individual repertoire of Turkic folk songs.[8]

The word ashiq (Шаблон:Lang-ar, meaning "in love" or "lovelorn") is the nominative form of a noun derived from the word ishq (Шаблон:Lang-ar, "love"), which in turn may be related to the Avestan and Persian iš- ("to wish, desire, seek").[9] The term is synonymous with Шаблон:Ill in Turkish and Azerbaijani, which it superseded during the fifteenth to sixteenth centuries.[10]Шаблон:Rp[11] Other alternatives include saz şair (meaning "saz poet") and halk şair ("folk poet"). In Armenian, the term gusan, which referred to creative and performing artists in public theaters of Parthia and ancient as well as medieval Armenia, is often used as a synonym.

History

Ismail I (1487–1524)

The ashik tradition in Turkic cultures of Anatolia, Azerbaijan and Iran has its origin in the Shamanistic beliefs of ancient Turkic peoples.[12] The ancient ashiks were called by various names such as bakshy/bakhshi/Baxşı, dede (dədə), and uzan or ozan. Among their various roles, they played a major part in perpetuation of oral tradition, promotion of communal value system and traditional culture of their people. These wandering bards or troubadours are part of current rural and folk culture of Azerbaijan, and Iranian Azerbaijan, Turkey, the Turkmen Sahra (Iran) and Turkmenistan, where they are called bakshy. Thus, ashik, in traditional sense, may be defined as travelling bards who sang and played saz, an eight or ten string plucking instrument in the form of a long-necked lute.

Judging based on the Turkic epic Dede Korkut,[13] the roots of ashiks can be traced back to at least the 7th century, during the heroic age of the Oghuz Turks. This nomadic tribe journeyed westwards through Central Asia from the 9th century onward and settled in present Turkey, Azerbaijan Republic and North-west areas of Iran. Naturally, their music was evolved in the course of the grand migration and ensuing feuds with the original inhabitants the acquired lands. An important component of this cultural evolution was that the Turks embraced Islam within a short time and of their own free will. Muslim Turk dervishes, desiring to spread the religion among their brothers who had not yet entered the Islamic fold, moved among the nomadic Turks. They choose the folk language and its associate musical form as an appropriate medium for effective transmission of their message. Thus, ashik literature developed alongside mystical literature and was refined starting since the time of Turkic Sufi Khoja Akhmet Yassawi in early twelfth century.[14]

The single most important event in the history of ashik music was the ascent to the throne of Shah Isma'il (1487–1524), the founder of the Safavid dynasty. He was a prominent ruler-poet and has, apart from his diwan compiled a mathnawi called Deh-name, consisting of some eulogies of Ali, the fourth Caliph of early Islam. He used the pen-name Khata'i and, in ashik tradition, is considered as an amateur ashik .[15] Isma'il's praised playing Saz as a virtue in one of his renowned qauatrains;[16] <poem> Bu gün ələ almaz oldum mən sazım --- (Today, I embraced my Saz) Ərşə dirək-dirək çıxar mənim avazım --- (My song is being echoed by heavens) Dörd iş vardır hər qarındaşa lazım: --- (Four things are required for the life:) Bir elm, bir kəlam, bir nəfəs, bir saz. --- (Conscience, speech, respiration, and Saz.) </poem> According to Köprülü's studies, the term ashik was used instead of ozan in Azerbaijan and in areas of Anatolia after the 15th century.[17][10] After the demise of Safavid dynasty in Iran, Turkish culture could not sustain its early development among the elites. Instead, there was a surge in the development of verse-folk stories, mainly intended for performance by ashiks in weddings. Following the collapse of the Soviet Union the governments of new republics in Caucasus region and Central Asia sought their identity in traditional cultures of their societies. This elevated the status of ashugs as the guardians of national culture. The newfound unprecedented popularity and frequent concerts and performances in urban settings have resulted in rapid innovative developments aiming to enhance the urban-appealing aspects of ashik performances.

A concise account of the ashik (called ashugh in Armenian) music and its development in Armenia is given in Garland Encyclopedia of World Music.[1]Шаблон:Rp In Armenia, the ashugh are known since the 16th century onward, acting as the successors to the medieval gusan art. By far the most notable of the ashugh of all was Sayat Nova (1712–95), who honed the art of troubadour musicianship to crowning refinement.[18]

Ashik music in Iranian Azerbaijan

During the Pahlavi era Ashiks frequently performed in coffee houses in all the major cities of east and west Azerbaijan in Iran. Tabriz was the eastern center for the ashiks and Urmia the western center. In Tabriz ashiks most often performed with two other musicians, a balaban player and a qaval player; in Urmia the ashik was always a solo performer.[19] After the Islamic revolution music was banned.{fact} Ten years later, ashik Rasool Ghorbani, who had been forced to make a living as a travelling salesman, aspired to return to the glorious days of fame and leisure. He started composing songs with religious and revolutionary themes. The government, realizing the propaganda potential of these songs, allowed their broadcast in national radio and sent Rasool to perform in some European cities.Шаблон:Fact This facilitated the emergence of the ashik music as the symbol of Azeri cultural identity.Шаблон:Fact

In September 2009, Azerbaijan's ashik art was included into UNESCO list of Intangible Cultural Heritage.[20]

The foundations of ashik art

Ashik art combines poetic, musical and performance ability. Ashiks themselves describe the art as the unified duo of saz and söz (word).This duo is conspicuously featured in a popular composition by Səməd Vurğun:[21] <poem> Binələri çadır çadır --- (The peaks rise up all around like tents) Çox gəzmişəm özüm dağlar --- (I have wandered often in these mountains) İlhamını səndən alıb --- (My saz and söz take inspiration) Mənim sazım, sözüm dağlar. --- (From you, mountains.) </poem> The following subsections provide more details about saz and söz.

Musical instruments

Mastering in playing saz is the essential requirement for an ashik. This instrument, a variant of which is known as Bağlama, is a stringed musical instrument and belongs to the family of long-necked lutes.[22] Often performances of ashiks are accompanied by an ensemble of balaban[23] and qaval performers. During Eurovision Song Contest 2012 all three instruments were symbolically played as a cultural symbol of the host country, Azerbaijan.

Poetry genres

The most spread poetry genres are gerayly, qoshma and tajnis.[24][25]

Ethical code of behaviour and attitude for ashiks

The defining characteristic of ashik profession is the ethical code of behaviour and attitude, which has been summarized by Aşiq Ələsgər in the following verses;[26][27] <poem> Aşıq olub diyar-diyar gəzənin ----(To be a bard and wander far from home) Əzəl başdan pürkəmalı gərəkdi --- (You knowledge and thinking head must have.) Oturub durmaqda ədəbin bilə --- (How you are to behave, you too must know,) Mə'rifət elmində dolu gərəkti --- (Politeness, erudition you must have.) Xalqa həqiqətdən mətləb qandıra --- (He should be able to teach people the truth,) Şeytanı öldürə, nəfsin yandıra --- (To kill evil within himself, refrain from ill emotions,) El içinde pak otura pak dura --- (He should socialize virtuously) Dalısınca xoş sedalı gərəkdi --- (Then people will think highly of him) Danışdığı sözün qiymətin bilə --- (He should know the weight of his words,) Kəlməsindən ləl'i-gövhər tokülə --- (He should be brilliant in speech,) Məcazi danışa, məcazi gülə --- (He should speak figuratively,) Tamam sözü müəmmalı gərəkdi --- (And be a politician in discourse.) Arif ola, eyham ilə söz qana --- (Be quick to understand a hint, howe'er,) Naməhrəmdən şərm eyleyə, utana --- (Of strangers you should, as a rule, beware,) Saat kimi meyli Haqq'a dolana --- (And like a clock advance to what is fair.) Doğru qəlbi, doğru yolu gərəkdi --- (True heart and word of honour you must have.) Ələsgər haqq sözün isbatın verə --- (Ələsgər will prove his assertions,) Əməlin mələklər yaza dəftərə --- (Angels will record his deeds,) Her yanı istese baxanda göre --- (Your glance should be both resolute and pure,) Teriqetde bu sevdalı gerekdi --- (You must devote himself to righteous path.) </poem>

Ashik stories (dastan)

Шаблон:Ill was the first to introduce the word hikaye into the academic literature to describe ashik stories.[28] According to Başgöz, hikaye cannot properly be included in any of the folk narrative classification systems presently used by Western scholars. Though prose narrative is dominant in a hikaye, it also includes several folk songs. These songs, which represent the major part of Turkish folk music repertory, may number more than one hundred in a single hekaye, each having three, five or more stanzas.[29]

As the art of ashik is based on oral tradition, the number of ashik stories can be as many as the ashiks themselves. Throughout the centuries of this tradition, many interesting stories and epics have thrived, and some have survived to our times. The main themes of the most ashik stories are worldly love or epics of wars and battles or both. In stark contrast to the conservative medium of Islamic societies where most stories take place, the heroine's rule is always as important as the hero's. In contrast to the doctrine of Islam, there is no objection to the heroine publicly singing.

In the following we present a brief list of the most famous hikayes:[30]

  • Shah Ismail, the founder of the Safavid empire, is the protagonist of a major hikaye. Despite the apparent basis in history, Shah Ismail's hikaye demonstrates a remarkable transformative ability. Feared as a ruthless despot during his lifetime, Shah Ismail becomes a poetic maestro in the hikaye, with his sword replaced by his saz, which is the weapon of choice for Shah Ismail's new persona of folk hero.[31]
  • The Warrior of The North. A Romantic Action Epic about bard named ashik in Constantinople in the 16th Century where he faces political and military problems and saves many people. In the end, he marries his soul mate, Nuur, but dies the same day in an attempt to save her from Hardun The Evil.
  • The Epic of Köroğlu is one of the most widespread of the Turkic hikayes. It is shared not only by nearly all Turkic peoples, but also by some non-Turkic neighboring communities, such as the Armenians, Georgians, Kurds, Tajiks, and Afghans. Although the hikaye's path of transmission is not yet fully understood, most researchers agree that it originated in the south Caucasus region, most likely Azerbaijan.[32] In the Azeri version, the epic combines the occasional romance with Robin Hood-like chivalry. Köroğlu, is himself an ashik, who punctuates the third-person narratives of his adventures by breaking into verse: this is Köroğlu. This popular story has spread from Anatolia to the countries of Central Asia somehow changing its character and content.[8] Azerbaijani composer Uzeyir Hajibeyov has created an opera by this name, using the ashik stories and masterfully combined some ashik music with this major classical work.
  • Ashiq Qərib, Azeri epic, made famous by Mikhail Lermontov, is another major story of a wandering ashik who began his journeys with worldly love and attains wisdom by traveling and learning then achieving sainthood. The story of Ashiq Qərib has been the main feature of a movie with the same name by director and producer Sergei Parajanov.[33] In early 1980s Шаблон:Ill narrated and sang the story in a one-hour-long TV program, the cosset record of which was widely distributed in Iranian Azerbaijan and had a key impact on the revival of ashug music.
  • Aşıq Valeh is the story of a debate between Шаблон:Ill[34] (1729–1822) and Aşıq Zərniyar. Forty ashiks have already lost the debate to Aşıq Zərniyar and have been imprisoned. Valeh, however, wins the debate, frees the jailed ashiks and marries Zərniyar.

Verbal dueling (deyişmə)

In order to stay in the profession and defend their reputation ashiks used to challenge each other by indulging in verbal duelings, which were held in public places. In its simplest form one ashik would recite a riddle by singing and the other had to respond by means of improvisation to the verses resembling riddles in form. Here is an example:[35]

The first ashik The second ashik
Tell me what falls to the ground from the sky? Rain falls down to the ground from the sky
Who calms down sooner of all? A child calms down sooner of all.
What is passed from hand to hand? Money is passed from hand to hand
The second ashik Shik
What remains dry in water? Light does not become wet in water
Guess what does not become dirty in the ground? Only stones at the pier remain clean.
Tell me the name of the bird living alone in the nest The name of the bird living in its nest in loneliness is heart.

  • Ashik Summani, Ashig Aly, Molla Juma, Ashig Musa,
  • Ashiq Basti (1836–1936), is one of the most outstanding female representatives of the art of Ashig in nineteenth century Azerbaijan. She was born in the Loh village of the Kalbajar region. She had a deep knowledge of Azerbaijani folk literature and was able to recite poems of her own at these folk ceremonies. She also learned to play the saz. Basti was known to be an active member of 'Gurban Bulaghi', a famous literary gathering of her era. She fell deeply in love with a shepherd sometime between the age of seventeen and eighteen. Her first love, however, was killed by a nobleman in her presence. Having helplessly witnessed this scene, Basti was thrown into a state of mental turmoil by this tragic incident. In her poems, Basti refers to her sweetheart as Khanchoban. In her lifetime, an epic story called 'Basti and Khanchoban' was created to deal with her ill-fated love. She avenges the nobleman who had killed her beloved by cursing him in her poems. Basti lost her eyesight from her endless weeping and she grew old well before her time. She was called 'Blind Basti' and a saying was created about her: 'Even the stone was crying when Basti cried'. However, she lived a long life and died in 1936, at the age of one hundred.[51]

An Azerbaijani postal stamp featuring Ashig Alasgar
  • Ashig Alasgar, perhaps the most renowned Azerbaijani ashik of all ages, was born in 1821 in Gegharkunik Province (Գեղարքունիքի մարզ) of the present day Armenia to an impoverished family. At the age of 14 he was employed as a servant boy and worked for five years, during which fell in love with his employer's daughter, Səhnəbanı. The girl was married off to her cousin and Alasgar was sent home. This failed love urged young Alasgar to buy a saz and seek apprenticeship with Ashik Ali for five years. He emerged as an accomplished ashik and poet and in 1850, unwillingly, defeated his master in a verbal dueling. The rest of Alasgar's productive life was spent training ashiks and composing songs until his death in 1926.[52] Here, we present the opening verses of one of Alasgar's finest compositions, titled Deer (Jeyran).[53] The song has been recently performed by Azerbaijan's beloved traditional singer Fargana Qasimova. Alim Qasimov offers the following commentary on this popular song: "In Azerbaijan, jeyran refers to a kind of deer that lives in the mountains and the plains. They’re lovely animals, and because their eyes are so beautiful, poets often use this word. There are many girls named Jeyran in Azerbaijan. We hope that when listeners hear this song, they’ll get in touch with their own inner purity and sincerity."[54]

<poem> Durum dolanım başına, --- (Let me encircle you with love,) Qaşı, gözü qara, Ceyran! --- (Your black eyes and eyebrows, Jeyran.) Həsrətindən xəstə düşdüm, --- (I have fallen into the flames of longing,) Eylə dərdə çara, Ceyran! --- (Help me to recover from this pain, Jeyran".) ....... </poem>

He traveled throughout the Middle East and eventually came to Cairo where he founded a Bektashi convent. Kaygusuz's poetry is among the strangest expressions of Sufism. He does not hesitate to describe in great detail his dreams of good food, nor does he shrink from singing about his love adventures with a charming young man. A tekerleme by Kaygusuz sounds like a perfect translation of a nursery rhyme:[69]
