Adıge musiqisi— Adıgeya ərazisində formalaşmış musiqi.
Adıge musiqisində müxtəlif xarakterli və məzmunlu mahnılar, rəqs musiqisi əsas yer tutur. Xalq mahnıları, başlıca olaraq, diatonik səs sırasına əsaslanır. Kamıl (nəfəs aləti), şiçepşin (kamanlı alət), pxaçiç (zərb aləti) əsas musiqi alətləridir. XIX əsrdən qarmon geniş yayılmışdır. Oktyabr inqilabından sonra musiqi folkloru öyrənilir. Peşəkar musiqi, əsasən, mahnı janrı sahəsində inkişaf etmişdir.[1]
