If music is the universal language, then finding each country's sweet spot for sweet talk and sweet music is the fruit of love's labor.  The Internet is a universe composed of Swiss cheese, though, of course, so the long winding roads only lead forever inward--to frequent dead ends.  It's there, though, if you look hard enough, and often in the strangest places.  In Zambia I found it in church.  In Azerbaijan I find it at weddings, no big shock since that's where I ended up hanging out every night in Samarkand, with similar culture.  Azerbaijan is the missing link of Turkish culture--the link between east and west, from the eastern Asian homeland to the modern western sorta-European Turkish state. You get the feeling that the whirling dervishes here are real, not just tourist programs.  Enjoy.
