Great cassette Tawfiq thank you! I am surprised by this one: it is from NE Iran (and adjacent to Uzbekistan etc) but to me it doesn't sound like what I'd expected from that area - it sounds to me like it comes from somewhere in India, perhaps! It just goes to show how unified the musics in that part of the world really are , I guess! Thank you for broadening my horizons again!! David
Dear David, in effect Torbat-e Jam is near the Afghan border in the south east of Khorasan. This part is also called South Khorasan. It's close to Herat in Afghanistan. The music of Northern Khorasan is a little different, though also played on the Dotar. Between Khorasan and Uzbekistan there is still Turkmenistan, to whose music the music of Northern Khorasan has many affinities. These are Bakhshi (bards) musics of basicly nomadic or semi-nomadic people and as such very different from the highly developed art music of the old urban centers of Uzbekistan. At Raga Maqam Dastgah you can find a lot of CDs with music from all these different regions. You can contact them at: info@raga-maqam-dastgah.com
The link works perfectly. As by now everybody should know perhaps, Rapidshare limited its public traffic as of 27th of november 2012. So if the message comes up that the public traffic is exhausted you just have to wait till next morning (European time as Rapidshare is based in Switzerland).
You still don't seem to understand how Rapidshare works now. Pleas read details on: http://oriental-traditional-music.blogspot.de/2013/02/rapidshare-all-links-work-perfectly.html
