About this person
Born Harutyun Sayatyan on 14 June 1712, he took the pen name Sayat-Nova and became a poet and musician working across Armenian, Georgian, Azerbaijani, and Persian. He composed in the ashugh tradition - part troubadour, part court entertainer - moving through the cultures of the Caucasus and beyond. His work carried across linguistic borders in an era when a single artist could hold several traditions at once. He died on 22 September 1795, leaving behind a body of song that refused to belong to only one people.
