Just finished listening to the World roots episode "Festival on the Niger", originally broadcast on 26 Aug 2006 on BBC radio 3, and featuring live #Music by Abdoulaye Diabaté, Neba Solo and Habib Koité, alongside impressions, interviews, etc.
The presenter, Lucy Duran, was a lecturer at SOAS while I was studying #Ethnomusicology there. We've had some truly great conversations. I really should listen to more of these episodes, they're just wonderful. #WorldMusic

When was the last time I shared Tajik #Music? Umm, maybe once a long time ago, maybe not ever.
Anyway… In the category of #GlobalPop, this is Mino feat. Qadami Qurbon with Umirayu. I really love the metric changes. Pop music in 4/4… Pfft! Let's do 11/8, but only in the verses, and do a limping rhythm for the chorus.

This is probably one of my favourite Rast Peşrevs by Refik Fersan (1893-1965), maybe because it's the first one I learnt on turkish ney. A peşrev is an instrumental prelude often consisting of 4 hâne (sections) separated by a teslim, a repeated melody that ties the hâne together. The third hâne usually does the biggest modulation away from the base makam. Here it's played on kemençe, yaylı tanbûr, oud and kanun.

This is a nice duet between piano and fujara. The fujara is a very large Slovakian overtone #flute with 3 finger holes. The one played in this is in G, a very common size offering a warm sound, balanced range and good volume. It's around 174cm / 5ft 8inch tall. One thing that fujara does really well is expressive trills, which you can hear right at the start of this piece.
