Musicians from Tajikistan and Uzbekistan and Jewish musicians from Bukhara (Bukhoro) live together in the cosmopolitan Bukhara-Samarqand region, participating in many of the same music traditions. These include the shashmaqam, a modal music system based on a vocal repertoire formerly performed for the Bukharan court. It was codified into its present form during the 18th century. “Nasr-i Chargah,” a composition from the shashmaqam, is performed here by an ensemble of the same name.
"Nasr-i Chargah" performed by Shashmaqam, from Music of the Bukharan Jewish Ensemble Shashmaqam (Cat.# Smithsonian/Folkways CD SF 40054) (p)1991 Smithsonian/Folkways Recordings. All rights reserved.
