Abstract: The paper examines the traditions of the musical art of Azerbaijan within the framework of UNESCO programs. Recently, new works on the general mission of UNESCO as a guarantor of science, education, culture and art have appeared in the press of Azerbaijan. The article focuses on one of the poorly studied aspects in order to bring the connection with folk music in line with UNESCO guidelines. The paper provides a clear and concrete reflection both in the theory of musical national creativity and in individual forms. For example, the work highlights Ashug music, the phenomenon of mugham, the art of khanende, etc. The role and importance of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation in spreading culture and the musical art was noted. UNESCO whose representatives are directly involved in the problems of science, education, culture and art, manages musical groups, holidays, festivals, and evenings of the member countries. The methodological basis of the study was the works by mainly Azerbaijani author. The methods of visual and practical analysis, comparative analysis, and systematization of empirical and theoretical data were used in the paper.
