[1] In 1995, at the age of sixteen, Qasimova joined Alim Qasimov on his concert tour to Germany for the first time.

Their next album included a track, Bagishlamani, dedicated to her colleague, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.

[4] Qasimova's efforts, with her father's guidance, to reconnect younger generations with mugham began to pay dividends; not only was appealing to traditional Islamic sections of the Azerbaijani population, but also to more Americanised and modern audiences.

She also took the opportunity to perform in New York City in 2005 as part of Yo-Yo Ma's Silk Road Project.

The concert aimed to promote multi-cultural artistic exchange between eastern and western cultures and The New York Times regarded her performance, alongside Malik Mansurov and Rauf Islamov, as the highlight of the event.
