INEDIT 1 - ASIE CENTRALE
AZERBAIDJAN TOUVA ET BACHKIRIE
UNPUBLISHED 1 - CENTRAL ASIA
Maison des Cultures du Monde, 1985
Based in Paris, this ''House of the World's Cultures'' was founded in 1982 by Cherif Khaznadar. It became a very important and worldwide institution through publications, concerts and festivals, studies in the field, lectures, etc... The label ''Inédit" was launched by Françoise Gründ in 1985 and this LP was the first one of a long series. 900 copies only were published and mine is n° 393. It has not been reissued yet.
Side A is dedicated to the Azeri mugam with the singer Talat Kassimov (with tar and kemanche); side B features the singer from Tuva Tumat who plays also the lute shamseh and Bashkir kuray player Ishmullah Dilmukhamedov. Kuray music is rare enough. These recordings were made in december 1983.
Unfortunately, track B6 has a crack I couldn't get rid of but the LP is otherwise in good shape.
The notes are in French only by Dr Habib Hassan Touma for the Azeri part and by F. Gründ for the Siberian part.
