"Çırpınırdı Qara dəniz" ("The Black Sea Raged") is a song written in 1918 by the Azerbaijani composer Uzeyir Hajibeyov on the lyrics of the poet Ahmad Javad.
[2] Excited by the participation of the Ottoman Turkey in the First World War,[3] the Azerbaijani poet Ahmed Javad wrote, in December 1914, the poem "The Black Sea raged".
[1] Despite this, the song gained popularity in Turkey, being played on radio and television, at official events and banquets.
[5] In 1990, Suleyman Shenel, a lecturer at the Istanbul Technical University, who was then an intern at the Azerbaijan State Conservatory, reported this song to the Hajibeyov Memorial House-Museum.
The song was firstly performed in front of the public in Azerbaijan on 10 March 1993 in the Republic Palace in Baku.
