‘The Garden’ is Sami Yusuf’s moving English rendition of the beautiful Azerbaijani folk song ‘Girdim yarın bağçasına’. He is joined by the renowned singer Sevda Alekperzade who sings the Azerbaijani lyrics. The result is a gorgeous interweaving of their voices that underscores the message of this deeply moving and lyrical song of love and longing.
Performed live at the Opening Ceremony of the UNESCO 43rd World Heritage Committee held at the Heydar Aliyev Center in Baku, Azerbaijan.
