    Homayoun Sakhi & Salar Nader

    As excitement builds for their performance this Fall at the Ragas Live Festival, we have a chat with Afghan superstars Homayoun Sakhi & Salar Nader. As the standard-bearers of Afghan traditional music, rubab master Homayoun Sakhi and tabla virtuoso Salar Nader carrythe rich and varied legacy of classical compositions and folk melodies of this ancient Central Asian nation.At the heart of this musical odyssey lie the enchanting sounds of the rubab, Afghanistan's revered 21-stringed lute,renowned for its hauntingly soulful timbre. Accompanied by the tabla's rhythmic pulse, Salar's innovative fusion of Afghanand Indian percussion draws out the musical parallels with Hindustani music, exploring the essence of Ragas and theprofound connection between two diverse yet harmonious traditions.These master musicians have perfected their art in the traditional ustâd-shâgird apprenticeship in the wake of theirfamilies’ flight from Afghanistan following the chaos of the Soviet invasion – Salar, disciple of the legendary Ustad ZakirHussain; and Homayoun, disciple of the revered Afghan Rubab maestro Ustad Mohammed Omar. Salar has touredextensively with NEA Jazz Master Stanley Clarke, appeared on Broadway with “The Kite Runner,” and together withHomayoun Sakhi took part in a series of recordings of the music of Afghanistan and Central Asia sponsored by Aga KhanMusic Initiative for the Smithsonian Folkways label.In a time when music has been banned in Afghanistan, the music of these master musicians serves as a powerfulreminder of the resilience and importance of preserving cultural heritage.www.salarnader.comwww.homayounsakhi.com
