Quliyev, Rustem
Azerbaijani Gitara
Rust?m Quliyev was born in 1969 in the village of Kosalar, Nagorno Karabakh. He played at weddings, made TV appearances, and recorded numerous cassettes with small local labels. He crafted a unique sound within an already idiosyncratic subculture of Azerbaijani electric guitar music. Sadly, his career was brought to a sudden end in 2005 after a short battle with lung cancer.
