Let's read an interesting interview with this band:
One Caucasus: How started your musical career?
DedeBaba: The first concert was in 2015 ,20 th of December. We decided to sing about social problems but to do it with fun in order to people smile and at one time start to think about things happen. Shortly to say tragicomedy.
Our genre is called ashugh-pank but at one time we experiment with totally different genres like rock-and-roll, ska, reggae, rockabilly, hip-hop, latino, metal and even opera.
All this things are mixed with azeri national music and as a result we get "DədəBaba"
The next headliner of One Caucasus Festival 2019 is An Gordonach! (Armenia)
An Gordonach! is a Scottish-Armenian rock project based out of Vanadzor, Armenia, the home of Armenian alternative music. “An Gordonach” is a traditional call in the Scots Gaelic language to members of Clan Gordon, the singer’s ancient highland clan from Aberdeenshire; it is said that Scots and Armenians share heritage and traits, so the name represented the energy and drive of the two nations.
