Circassian folk music - The music of Northern Caucasus
I studied different dialects and subgroups of Armenian people and learned very interesting history about the neighborhood of Armenian and Circassian nations. Not everyone in Armenia knows the history of Cherkesogais. Cherkesogais or Circassian Armenians are ethnic Armenians who have inhabited Russia's Krasnodar Krai and Republic of Adyghea since the end of 15th century and spoke the Cyrcassian language (currently, most of them speak Russian as their first language), apart from other Armenians living in the region. They reside mostly in the cities of Armavir and Maykop. They have long history of the neighborhood with Circassian people. But studying the history of Circassian people found out that the friendly neighborhood of our people is not the only thing we share together. Circassians and Armenians share identical sad and tragic history regardless to their ethnic and religious differences . This video is a tribute to Circassian people as we can understand all the struggles and difficulties they faced back in 19th century.
