Baku: Filming for the 'Hungarian Rhapsody Project' is underway in Azerbaijan with the support of the Hungarian Ministry of Culture and Innovation, the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Azerbaijan, and the Heydar Aliyev Foundation, APA reports. The project aims to bring together Hungarian and Azerbaijani musicians in a unique cultural collaboration.

According to Azeri-Press News Agency, the musical ensemble, led by internationally renowned saxophonist and composer Balint Barsony, collaborates with Azerbaijan's celebrated mugham performers, People's Artist Mansum Ibrahimov and Mugham Television Competition winner Kamila Nabiyeva. The initiative seeks to revive the musical traces of Turkic-Hungarian cultural ties using a modern and distinctive musical language.
