专辑简介
In Bukhara, Uzbekistan, Jewish and Musilm musicians have created a unique sound in an ancient city of narrow streets, crowded bazaars, and varied influences. These 1990 digital recordings capture the nuances of the city's finest musicians in performance. Extensive notes include a description of each recording and an introduction to Bukharan music.
In 1990, Theodore Levin and Otanazar Matykubov recorded the musical life of the ancient Central Asian trade center Bukhara. Their goal was to take an audio snapshot of a city that has for centuries created an amalgam of multiple musical cultures. Classical music of Persian Tajiks and Uzbeks mixes with Jewish and Islamic religious music, all of it overlaid with 70 years of Soviet cultural policy.
This CD is of music recorded in Uzbekistan after Central Asia began opening up to outsiders. Essentially, this is the music of Uzbekistan after having been under the Soviet boot for 70 - 80 yrs and therefore not authentically Bukharan. As such it was misleading to call it "Bukhara"; it should have been called "Uzbekistan". I purchased it thinking that I would find authentic Bukharan music and was disappointed.
The Khanate of Bukhara existed in an area that today is partly in Uzbekistan and partly in Tadjikistan. The language and culture was more Tadjik (Persian) than Uzbek (Turkic). The Russians carved up Central Asia into the present day republics based on their anthropological research. When the Bolsheviks took over, severe educational, religious and cultural restrictions were implemented (although not as harsh as in other parts of the Former Soviet Union) and enforced. As a result one will notice a great difference in the language, food, clothing and music between Bukharans who left at the time of the Russian Revolution and those who have left in the last 15 - 20 years.
For me, searching for the songs and sounds that I miss, this CD was a disappointment. The best recording I have found thus far is one called "Folk Music of Palestine" which was a recording made in the 40's of expatriate Bukharans. This too though is unsatisfying as it contains only portions of songs rather than the songs in their entirety. But it is authentic. - Amazon Reviewer
