We start our week of Afghan musical adventures with a video featuring Samir Chatterjee, the very patient producer of All Around This World: South and Central Asia. Samir, who splits his time between India and the United States, has taught music around the world, including Afghanistan, where he helped revive musical traditions that decades of Taliban oppression had nearly destroyed. Here he shares the stage with Quraishi who plays the Afghan rubab. (sometimes “rabab.”)
We are revising the AllAroundThisWorld.com site — the information you’re seeking may still be here, but a lot of links are broken and details may be out of date. We are currently using a new (better!) site — ExploreEverywhere.com — to tell you all about our class offerings, our “pen pal” program and how to become one of our teachers, and will eventually be moving all the goodies from here over to there. So, GO TO THE NEW SITE!
