Alim Gasimov was born in 1957 . His parents knew his talent for music and mugham in particular from his childhood, but they did not have the means to give him musical education. He had only one thing, his father had slaughtered a goat to make tambourines. This tambourine was the first musical instrument and yet it had a beautiful and distinctive sound.

Later, he took lessons from the most famous and talented teachers of the mugham school in Baku. At the age of 25, Alim won the first mugham competition in his life. At that time, he was busy researching mugham art, especially the tarab genre.
