Daily life in Azerbaijan

The portrait of Suna Shihova, a local singer of folk rhymes in Gil, Qusar district, Azerbaijan, on 6 October 2016. This songs, says Suna, were written by girls. They are about love. They couldn’t talk to boys or men they liked before the wedding. When a girl saw a boy from her window, she could fall in love. Then she expressed her feelings in such couplets.
