"Turkmen in Iran and
Afghanistan:
Turkmen
in Iran and Afghanistan remain very conservative in comparison to their
brethren in Turkmenistan. Islam plays a much more prominent role in Iran
and Afghanistan where Turkmen follow many traditional Islamic practices that
many Turkmen in Turkmenistan have abandoned as a result of decades of Soviet
rule. In addition, many Turkmen in Iran and Afghanistan have remained at
least semi-nomadic and traditionally work in agriculture/animal husbandry and
the production of carpets In
Iran about 2 000,000 Turkmen are primarily concentrated in the provinces
of Golestan and North Khorasan."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkmen_people
"The Turkmens reside in the north of the (Iranian) province Golestan, a plain called Turkmen Sahra. This former nomadic people live in this area from 15th century, main cities of which are Gonbad-e Kavus and Bandar Torkaman."

music from the former Soviet Union:

Many many thanks for all the work you put into this massive blog. I've been listening to oriental musics for the last 40 years but I still discover new artists (to me); it looks endless.
And other followers give us such good other blogs to visit that I can spend the rest of my life with you !
