The Boulevard along the Caspian is a beautiful, several kilometer long parkway that is a real gem of the city. Baku Boulevard (also known as National Park) is a promenade established in 1909 which runs parallel to Baku's seafront. Its history goes back more than 100 years, to a time when Baku oil barons built their mansions along the Caspian shore and when the seafront was artificially built up inch by inch.
The park is about 3 km and 750 m in size and located in south coast of the Caspian Sea. It starts at the National Flag Square and ends at Freedom Square. According to the Azerbaijan Cabinet of Ministers, the boulevard's size is expected to reach 26 km, which will cover areas including Bibiheyb?t and Bay of Baku by 2015.
The project on expansion of the Baku boulevard aims at creating more comfortable conditions for the residents of the capital city and the guests to have a rest and take sports in more comfortable conditions at the Caspian seashore. Before the Eurovision Song Contest 2012 the boulevard was extended to the National Flag Square.
In 1999, the boulevard was proclaimed a National Park by Heydar Aliyev, former president of Azerbaijan. This status also helped to mitigate the environmental concerns such as cleanup of oil pollution from Caspian Sea oilfields. Until 2009, there were 28 entertainment attractions in boulevard's amusement park. However, due to safety reasons, old attractions were replaced by new carousels and rides from Italy and Germany.
The boulevard contains an amusement park, yacht club and musical fountain, and various statues and monuments. The park is popular with dog-walkers and joggers, and is convenient for tourists, being adjacent to newly built International Center of Mugham and musical fountain.
The boulevard marked it is 100th anniversary in 2009 as the specific date of it is creation is still unknown.

At all times the musical art of Azerbaijan has been famous and popular in geographic area of the Caucasus, Middle Asia, Iran and Turkey. Many centuries of common spiritual and cultural history or, at least, active cultural mutual relations connect it with musical cultures of this region along with those of Indian subcontinent and Arabic East. All these musical cultures formed musical space where the Azerbaijanis have historically lived and where the culture of mughamat/ makamat has been the centre of attraction, the cultural element uniting them. Starting from the last quarter of the ХХ century, considerably due to UNESCO activity, makamat and traditional modal music of these nations have come into the orbit of scholars` and the public` interests. During this period much has been done to study and spread this music. The purpose of the symposiums of 2009, 2011 were to attract attention to contemporary problems of this artistic phenomenon, and terms of its social life, its today's performing practice and transmission, its perception and influence on the public including non-traditional listeners' audience and also to discuss problems of its management at the current stage.

The event to be organized jointly by the Heydar Aliyev Foundation, Culture and Tourism Ministry and Azerbaijani Composers Union will involve local and foreign mugam singers.
