Biography of Meihana

And although Meihan is performed in Azerbaijani, the phrase “who are you? Come on” in Russian from the video of the Intigam brothers and Ethyram Rustamov literally blew up social networks and YouTube, and this art of national folklore began to be actively interested in many countries of the world. Therefore, we offer readers Trend Life material about Meihan. When did Meihan originated?

According to historians, Meihan originated in the days of the outstanding Azerbaijani poet and philosopher Imadeddin Nasimi in the century, when the dervishes performed his gazelle in a rhythmic form, playing along with the drums. In the film Hasan Seidbely, Nasimi shows this historical fact. By the way, at the VII All -Union Film Festival of the year the film was awarded the prize "For the best film on a historical topic", and the main role of Rasim Balaev, the second prize "For the best performance of a male role".

Over time, the wanderers distributed this art in Azerbaijan and Persia. In the medieval cities of Azerbaijan, along with coffee houses and tea, there were tavern taverns where you could have a glass of wine, smoke a hookah, listen to music or ashugs and play games. Especially many such places were in Baku. One of the regulars of such establishments were famous poets, musicians, dervishes of that time.

They read their works here, often lustering, repulsing the rhythm on the DEF, a table, or clutching with their fingers. Subsequently, this genre received its name from the place where he originated - Meihan. Mei - means alcoholic drinks, and the khan is a room, a room. A distinctive feature of the Baku Meihan literally - the House of Wine was the poetic competitions of visitors to the tavern.

One of the participants asked the topic or rhyme, after which the improvisational comrade-satirical competition began, which reminds Russian ditties. Since Meihan was associated with the use of alcoholic beverages, it was banned from the clergy. Therefore, these taverns were persecuted. However, poetic competitions gained such popularity that they began to be performed under the name Meihan and outside the tavern - on holidays and at weddings.

According to director Abdul Makhmudov, Meihan has more ancient roots and has a completely different name. Already at that time, this genre existed, which was called not Meihan a place for drinking, but Meydankhan a place for a dispute, square. "What is Meihan? Maikhan Azerb. As a rule, there is a battle of words between two performers, or poets, as meihanhahs like to call themselves.

And they are absolutely not prepared for the topic of rhyme, chorus, and on the contrary, they show their art. The works of a short poem instantly, that is, invents improvisable on the go, the maykhana poets compete with each other, composing and performing on the go, without preparation, sharp bunches on topical topics are read under a simple musical accompaniment - not everyone can become a synthesizer.

To be a horizons, you need to be aware of the events, be resourceful and witty, that along with the "high" meihan in the form of gazelles, there is Meihan at the level of ordinary street folklore, whose level is determined by the low level of the contractor, which is why this art is turned into a kind of pop. Elshan Khazar - one of the recognized masters of Maikhana - graduated from the director's faculty of the University of Arts: “There are Meihanachs who are an appendicite of a healthy organism.

Meihan does not allow insults - you just answer“ word to words ”, this is a poetic and musical game of words. In the first place, the culture of the word is valued, then the voice of the performer, as he supports, as he supports, as he supports, as he supports The musical rhythm and the violation of these rules speaks of the unprofessionalism of the performer. When we participated in the de Gyalsin contest, among our listeners there was a guest from France.

The Soviet years in the first years of establishing Soviet power in Azerbaijan, in the 10ths of the last century, Meihan was used to spread new ideology, in fiction. And even entered the repertoire of the Critic theater, where she was in stage works. During the war, Meihan turned into a faithful friend of the people, cheerful people, increased faith and hope in victory over fascism. But in the post -war period, Meihan is in a semi -legal and semi -underground position.

Meihanachs are not invited to radio and television, and audio recordings are distributed underground, only to tape cassettes.People are constantly “vaccinated” that Meihan is a genre of drug addicts, alcoholics, loafers, gamblers and criminals. As a result of such a policy, the people have a false opinion about this art. But still, this genre flourishes in the Baku villages, and a rare wedding in tents is complete without Meihana.

Moreover, it is performed at the very end of the wedding, and this lasts until the morning. The meihanachs-professionals recognized by the people appear, who are invited to weddings for a certain fee. The most popular and respected author was the beloved poet-Mayihanacha Aliaga Vahid, who died in the year. He was not recognized by Soviet Azerbaijan, but he was loved and loved by the people.

Today, in the ancient part of Baku Icherisher Aliage Wahid, one of the most beautiful and unusual monuments is erected. The revival and popularization only after the country gaining independence to this genre appears a qualitatively new attitude, and it begins to develop rapidly. In the year, after Azerbaijan gained independence, the art critic Gorkhmaz Alily created the stage of pop and first held the Republican competition of Meihana.

By the way, Namik Myan sold the prize car of the competition, and the proceeds were transferred to the boarding school for children with weak mental development. Of course, I know the art, the culture of the word, but this does not mean that I can realize everything on stage. Much depends on the audience. You see, it is one thing to perform at weddings, the other is on the air, where ethics of behavior is required.

Participating in the project, my main goal was not a car and a victory, but an attempt to show the true Meihan so that people really love it. And then, you know, it is insulting when it is an ancient art of our people is called "street". I want Meikhan to become not only Azerbaijani, but a global property, ”said Namik Myan. Since Soviet times, Agaselim Chyldag has gained popularity, who, despite oppression, developed this art.

His merits were appreciated in independent Azerbaijan, and Agaselim Chyldag was awarded the Order of Slava for the merits in development He died in the year, in the year of his life, and left behind many students who continue his glorious business. Today, various contests of Meihana are held, masters of this art are invited to folk festivities, publishes Meihan and, finally, Meihan became the object of research.

Agamirza Mamedov nephew Agaselim Chyldag, and the deputy is Gorkhmaz Alili. Meihan is one of the most interesting directions of our folklore, this is a real art of the word. Meyhan's authority is growing every day. It is time to create a school of this folklore genre. Inlaklah, this art will become better known, and the glory of our masters of the word will spread around the world, ”said Agamirza.

Today there are many sentences for the development of this folk genre. Vugar Abdulov wants to create a Meihana Theater, Vakhid Gyatim and Namik Myan offer to create a professional school of Meihana in the country and open the faculty in the Conservatory to promote this art in the world. The State Theater of the Maikhana The Saleh Sabat was staged by the Maikhana Theater, and the director of Ibragimoglu was the director at the end of the Palace of Gaydar Aliyev.

Ganzhevi "Leili and Medzhnun" dedicated to his Father Father Leily played Meihanachi Agamirza. Meihan has always been considered a male occupation, but the women here decided to attach their hand. The first woman appeared in the year - Meihanacha Samira Yusifgyzy.

And in this art I am in no way inferior to our men, ”says Samira. And Namik Glychuhurlu generally claims that Meihan helps to increase the tomato crop. I dedicated a hot rhyme to each tomato bush. After a month of painstaking work, sweet Baku tomatoes ripened! And our crop was bought in the bazaar.” The path to world recognition of Azerbaijan has always been an international country, and therefore Russian words were often used in Meihanach’s recituctions, and finally “fired” the dreams and wishes of Meihan's performers gradually come true.

And this step was taken by the brothers Intigam and Ethyram Rustamov, who, with his phrase "Who are you? Come on" at one of the weddings in the blink of the eye, became superstar at first on the Internet, and then on television channels. They were even invited to speak at the closure of the euro in Kyiv. Success must be developed
