Decades of war and cultural repression have taken a huge toll on
Afghanistan's once thriving music scene. Many musicians have left the
country.
One of the best, Quraishi, lives
right here in New York. Quraishi is a master of the traditional
Afghan short-necked lute, the rubab. He has a great new CD out on the
Evergreene
label, Mountain
Melodies.
Quraishi is one of several outstanding artists from
Persian and Turkic cultures who performed at the annual CTMD Heritage Sunday free concert on Sunday afternoon August 2 at Lincoln
Center Out-of-Doors, Hearst Plaza. The concert, Echoes of the Divine: Arts of the Turko-Persian Diaspora, featured Ahmet Erdogdular, Shashmaqam, Quraishi, and The New York Crimean Tatar Ensemble.
On today's show Quarishi performs two instrumentals live on rubab plus two short pieces on the dutar, a long-neck lute he's recently begun playing as well. He's accompanied by Hewad, a fine young tabla player.
