Muezzin, bloter and azan canon

In the last few days, I discovered that the current muezzin of the nearest mosque to my house in Uzynagash village is singing the Azan to the melody of a Soviet-era crime ballad titled 'The Daughter of the Prosecutor,' which was sung by Arkadiy Severniy and others. I became convinced of this today when I remembered the character with the nickname BLOTER from the movie 'The Meeting Place Cannot Be Changed,' who also sang it.

In general, I've observed several characteristic features in the way the muezzins of this mosque perform the Azan. These features include chanson-style singing, ballad performances, fake singers with no understanding of musical harmony, improvisation that distorts the traditional Azan, and more. Only one among them adheres to the traditional Azan canon.

Today, I tried to sing the Azan melody while working in my garden in various famous rhythms, such as the traditional sample, polka rhythm, dubstep, solemn march, and ska-punk.

I hope for the best music harmonies and a better understanding of traditional frames for all muezzins worldwide, as I am destined to hear them.
