4.30 Lost Musicians of Central Asia
In the Islamic holy city of Bokhara, Jewish musicians sang and played at the court of the Emir for several centuries. They continued to perform their repertoire during the period of Soviet domination of Uzbekistan, but most of them have now emigrated to Israel and the United States. On the ramparts of the Ark, the citadel of Bokhara, Uzbek ethnomusicologist Razia Sultanova talks to John
Thornley about the musical and cultural traditions of Bokhara, Tashkent and Samarkand, and introduces erotic and religious songs recorded by the Jewish emigres.
