The Reghistan is a place in Samarkand meaning ''sandy place'' in Persian. Samarkand is in Uzbekistan that was part of the Soviet Union in the 1980's. The 1980's was also the period of time when the USSR occupied Afghanistan.
This album is the third one about a series of concerts given during the symposium in 1983. Here Afghanistan was represented by Ustad Mohammad Hashimi who played the sarod and the sitar and sang as well. He was accompanied by two pairs of tablas and one harmonium.
On side A Hashimi interprets several pieces in a classical style on raga shevarandjani and raga kamanj.The beginning of side B is the continuation of side A on raga nandar kauns; then he sings a ghazal in Pashtoon; finally the album ends with one solo by the two tablas players.
This disc is an example of the influence of Hindustani music on Afghan culture. But the Indian sarod derives from the Afghan rebab and was created during the 18th century.
