Then this from Mountain of Tongues label, a re-issue of a gemstone recording of Azerbaijani guitarist Rüstəm Quliyev

Mountains of Tongues is dedicated to preserving and promoting lesser known music from the Caucasus region. We focus on music and its role in the everyday lives of people living in the region, with an intentional disregard for rigid notions of authenticity or genre; sounds from the intersection of the modern/traditional, the participatory/presentational, and the sacred/secular.
Sandipen, Salaam!
Oriental Traditional Music Blog by Tawfiq: a wonderful archival rabbit hole. Hindustaani, Dhrupad, Qawwali, Iraqi Maqaam, Russian folklore and more with hundreds of download links for vinyl rips and out of print cassettes from all over the shops... While Tawfiq's own blog seems to be dormant since 2019 and none of the download links are functional all the blogs that are linked to are online and updated. I will post some of the other links below also
