Sorry I missed this note. It’s mostly folklore music. There aren’t really a lot “bands” in the traditional sense.
Ooof where do I even start.
Ok these three amazing ladies are not Circassian, but from the Caucasus region, I think they are Georgians. But they are so playful, natural, and just pure joy:

This playlist has amazing music: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_l6chCoY-AKVm4c9v5Keqehd9061Zq1DCc&si=JpetSLqWb8Q4E6nK
The styles of music differ from one region to another, people who live by the shores had more up beat, playful style of music, people who are from inner city have more structured rigid music.
This amazing lady (Abida Womar), didn’t know any music theory, and just went on and invented her own style and is considered one of the most highly regarded artists and her music is played everywhere. This is one of the very few videos we have of her playing she was old here: https://youtu.be/xh2uXf60tno
I can’t but dance in my seat when I listen to these 🤣
Absolutely fantastic, thank you so much 🙏 Sophia and I love it 😁
