Collectible Description

The first Azerbaijani ballet “Giz galasi” has been composed by Afrasiyab Badalbeyli in 1940. The premiere took place on 18 April 1940 at the Azerbaijan State Academic Opera and Ballet Theater. Main roles at the premiere: Gulyanaq – Gamar Almaszade (later T.Aliyeva), Jahangir khan – A.S.Urvatsev, Polad – Constantin Batashev, Ayperi daye – M. Babayeva, mother of Gulyanaq – L. Tahmasib. In 1948, at the same theatre the work performed again with choregraphic edition of Gamar Almaszade; the next edition was in 1958. In 1958 the main roles were performed by: Gulyanaq – Leyla Vekilova (later Rafiga Akhundova, Tamilla Shiraliyeva), Jahangir khan – Constantin Batashev, Polad – Magsud Mammadov (later Yuri Kuznetsov, Vladimir Pletnyov).On 24 October 1999 the new edition of the ballet was performed. The author of the new edition – Yuliana Alikishizade. The author of the new musical edition – Farhad Badalbeyli. The main roles were performed by: Gulyanaq – Madina Aliyeva, Polad – Gulagasi Mirzeyev. The collective of the State Dance Ensemble under the guidance of Afag Malikova took part in the performance.The composer has created figurative structure with intonation in ballet which is characteristic for folklore works. The dance of the villagers and match-makers, beginning of the first act and Ayperi’s part are examples for it. Badalbeyli has employed original Azerbaijani methods in the ballet – “Ay beri bakh” lyric song (girls’ dance in the first act), “Terekeme”, “Kikijan” halays (villagers’ dance in the first act and the beginning of this act), rhythmical music of “Bayati-Shiraz Mugham” (Gulyanaq’s dance in the third act). Badalbeyli has also used uzbek (uzbek guests’ dance), Iran (Persian guests’s dance) songs. The composer has tried to realize detailed musical development with the help of folk themes. Thus, “Ay beri bakh” represents bright days in epilogue in the memory of the main character. Polad’s memories sound sad in jail scene with “Kikijan”.

Artist Biography

The Emergence of a Ugandan Voice: An Known Prosper

From the vibrant musical landscape of Entebbe, Uganda, emerges Ntege Dalton, known professionally as An Known Prosper – a rising star captivating audiences with his soulful blend of R&B and contemporary sounds. Born on September 28, 1998, in Luweero district but raised in Seguku, Prosper’s journey is one of passion, perseverance, and the transformative power of heartbreak. His story isn't simply about a musician finding success; it’s about an artist channeling personal experience into universally resonant melodies and lyrics.

Early Life and Musical Awakening

Prosper’s early life was marked by relocation, shaping his perspective and fostering a deep connection to the diverse cultural tapestry of Uganda. As the second of four children, he developed a keen sensitivity to human emotion – a quality that would later become central to his songwriting. His formal musical education began with learning the guitar, quickly revealing a natural aptitude for the instrument. This foundational skill became the bedrock upon which he built his unique sound, allowing him to express himself beyond words and delve into the nuances of rhythm and harmony.

The Rise Through FC Records

In 2019, An Known Prosper embarked on his professional musical career, signing with FC Records – a pivotal moment that provided him with the platform and resources to nurture his talent. This partnership proved instrumental in launching his presence within Uganda’s competitive music industry. His initial releases quickly garnered attention for their romantic themes and emotionally charged vocals, resonating deeply with listeners seeking authenticity and vulnerability. The songs “Doctor,” “Tonerabira,” and a collaboration with Shakie Baibe titled “Burning” established him as a promising new voice.

Heartbreak and Artistic Breakthrough

While his early work demonstrated considerable promise, it was the exploration of personal heartbreak that truly propelled An Known Prosper into the spotlight. His 2021 single, “Radio Call 9,” became a sensation, amassing over two million views on YouTube thanks to the skilled direction of Zero One Media’s Director Darlington. The song isn't merely a tale of lost love; it’s a poignant exploration of longing and hope, conveyed through evocative lyrics and a captivating music video that visually embodies the desperation and yearning within the track. The ingenuity of the concept – a direct plea broadcast over radio waves – struck a chord with audiences, solidifying Prosper's reputation as an artist unafraid to bare his soul.

A New Wave in Ugandan R&B

An Known Prosper represents a fresh wave in the Ugandan music scene. He isn’t simply replicating existing trends; he is forging his own path, blending contemporary R&B sensibilities with uniquely Ugandan influences and experiences. His ability to connect with listeners on an emotional level, coupled with his dedication to quality production and compelling storytelling, positions him as a significant figure in the country's evolving musical landscape. He’s more than just a singer; he is a songwriter, guitarist, and performer who embodies the spirit of a new generation – one that values authenticity, vulnerability, and artistic expression. His future promises continued growth, innovation, and a deepening exploration of the human condition through the power of music.
