Aghabala Abdullayev (Azerbaijani: Ağabala Abdullayev, 1910 — 10 October 1976) was an Azerbaijani khananda.
Aghabala Abdullayev was born in 1910, in the village of Charali.[1] At the age of 12, he entered the first class of a rural youth school in Karyagino. He apprenticed in the shop of Rza, a seamstress before he opened his own shop.
In 1927, Bulbul, Ismayil Eloghlu and Murshud Hashimli heard the voice of Aghabala Abdullayev and entered the store. They appreciated his voice. Bulbul entrusted Aghabala to M.Hashimli, who was the club manager at Karyagin. After working in the shop during the day, Abdullayev participated in events in the evenings, and began to play episodic roles in choir and performances.
In 1930, Topasha Ahmadov, garmon-player, who used to collect money, bought a dayereh for Aghabala, and for the first time took him to a wedding in the village of Gedzhagozlu. Since then, A.Abdullayev participated in the wedding festivities of the near and far villages.
While Agabala learned stage techniques from J.Vazirov and M.Hashimli, he learned the secrets of mugham singing from Seyid Shushinski.[2]
On the day of the Great Patriotic War started, the collective, that Aghabala is a member of, had been performing in Kapan. A large part of the collective was mobilized into the army. Aghabala and his friend J.Jafarov set up a group of young people and often gave concerts in front of conscripts. Because the theater director went to war, director Jalil Baghdadbeyov was sent from Baku to the collective. In a short span of time, he prepared several war-related performances. Aghabala was an assistant director in those works.
Aghabala Abdullayev died on October 10, 1976.[1]
