Borders — presented and curated by the
Aga Khan Music Initiative in Central Asia — features
three groups of performers: Tengir-Too, from Kyrgyzstan,
The Academy of Shashmaqâm, from Tajikistan, and Homayun
Sakhi and Taryalai Hashimi, from Afghanistan (via California).
All
of these performers are featured on Music of Central
Asia, volumes 1-3, which is being released by Smithsonian
