BAKU, May 26 – Sputnik. The popular Azerbaijani performer Masuma Mamedova, who is better known in local show business under the pseudonym Damla, does not consider anyone a rival: “Because show business is not a place of battle, but a stage on which everyone must demonstrate their voice and nothing else.”

Damla stated this at a press conference held at the multimedia press center. The singer noted that the reason for the meeting with journalists is that she practically does not find time to personally meet with each of them, so she decided to answer all the questions at once. According to her, the lack of time is due to the fact that she speaks at different celebrations every day, many taking place in the regions of the country.

“They tell me that my songs are listened to mainly by the “hillbillies,” ordinary people working in our areas, but I don’t care. On the contrary, I’m proud of it because I earn the most, and if other performers perform once or twice a month on weddings, I do this almost every day,” Mamedova said.

She noted that the “elite” also invites her to their celebrations, but no one talks about it. According to her, she doesn’t charge that much for her performances at weddings, and even sometimes gives discounts to the hosts when she sees that they don’t have money. But she still refused to disclose the size of her fees.

The singer noted that she takes the choice of a song very responsibly and seriously, and first of all puts herself in the place of the listener. If the composition touches her, she performs it.

According to Mamedova, for any performer, only the voice is important, and not the parameters of the figure, as many believe. The singer noted that she also often receives offers to perform in Russia, so she has to fly there three times a week. However, frequent flights led to a certain limit being exceeded, therefore, according to Mamedova, she was banned from entering Russia for three years.

“Thank God that we managed to solve this problem, because we did not want to cancel invitations to the weddings of our compatriots living in different cities of Russia. This ban has already been lifted,” Mamedova noted.

The singer also said that she recently returned from Turkey, where she filmed her new video, its presentation will take place this summer. In addition, Damla is preparing for her first solo concert, which will be held in October at the Heydar Aliyev Palace.

Regarding her personal life, Mamedova admitted that there is always love in her life, because without it she could not sing her songs with soul. She also noted that if in the future someone offers her hand and heart, she will agree to get married again if she loves this person.
