THE SOCİO-PSYCHOLOGİCAL İMPACT OF THE SİNGER ON THE AUİDİENCE DURİNG MUGHAM PERFORMANCE

Abstract. The article evaluates the socio-psychological characteristics of Azerbaijani mugham as a very deep phenomenon reflecting the emotions, way of thinking and social life of the people. The study shows that mugham is a complex musical system that creates catharsis in the human psyche, provides emotional regulation and strengthens collective empathy. The improvisational nature and microtonal structure of mugham affect both the conscious and subconscious levels of the listener. It is from this perspective that the singer transmits his experiences to the audience while performing mugham. At this time, a special connection is created between them.
