 Resource are scarce.

Here are some resources that can provide some great insights. The author (Amjad Jamoukha) is a close relative of mine. Look into all his writings. He is probably one of the most known Circassian Historians/Authors.

 How do you know this? 👀 
 Eagerly learning about anything related to those regions, varieties of people, and traditions.  
 That’s awesome! If you have question, more than happy to chat. 🫂 
 Thank you ! Sure. Thank's for the availability. Glad to keep in touch. (Wrote you privately already.) 
 Well, I still want to know more about Caucasian music 😅

 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 😁 
 Good evening : is there anyone here who could introduce me to any Adyghe language you know first hand - I'll be glad to contribute with Italian, English, French, and German, in return. - 
I'm primarily interested in poetry, and epics such as the Nart Saga. - In particular, in relation to religious believes and practices - e.g. Адыгэхэр Хабзэ. 

I've been asking around about this, in Circassians related group chats. Maybe, you can help with it. 

Тхьашъуегъэпсэу.
