Winners of Song Contest Art for Democracy

The human right advocacy campaign Art for Democracy announced the winners of the second song contest. Among the songs presented to the competition there are songs about democracy, human rights, rule of law, and social justice.

By the results of on-line voting, the first place was won by the song Azerbaijan Tale presented by the rapper Ramash.

The votes for the other three songs were almost equally divided. Therefore, the jury awarded the single second place and equally distributed the cash prizes.

Thus, in second place was the group Barfly with the song Democracy, the singer Araz Ibrahim for the song "No Ilham" and the rapper Anar Nagylbaz with the song "Wicked, the One Who Lies - 3".

The first contest of the song campaign Art for Democracy was held in February - May. Then the first place was taken by the singer Aidan for the song Time Matters (pop music), the second place was taken by the group Set The Strange Boy for the song Demos Cratos (rap), and the third place was taken by the group Tengri for the Folk Song.

The campaign Art for Democracy was established in December last year by the Club of Human Rights, the Institute for Reporters' Freedom and Safety (IRFS) and the Center for National and International Studies. At the moment this campaign coordinated by Human Rights Club is attended by about 20 NGOs.

The campaign is a continuation of the campaign Sing for Democracy, which promotes democratic reform and human rights through art. -16D06-
