Check the drum duel video I also uploaded where zerbaghali master Malang and dhol master Gholalam demonstrate their unbelievable skills. This group 's concert at the Shiraz Arts Festival was due to my efforts to arrange their appearance there and so I felt their expertise should be shared on video. Dr. Lloyd Miller

The Afghan tambur or tumbur is based on the ancient tumbur of Khorasan which originally had just a few strings. The present day Afghan tumbur has a dozen or so sympathetic strings which echo when the note they are tuned to is played. They are tuned to the scale that is to be used for each performances. This provides a type of echo and served so somewhat amplify the music in the good old days before electricity. The Indian sitar was based on this type of instrument. Dr. Lloyd Miller

[wutangshogan]

What kind of tambur is it?

این گزارش، افغانستان را در فهرست کشورهای فاسد جهان، پس از سومالی و برمه آورده است، در حالی که عراق، چهارمین کشور در این فهرست است.

مسئولان "شفافیت بین الملل" می گویند، این گزارش براساس بررسی های انجام شده در یکصد و هفتاد کشور جهان تدوین شده است.

[worldartsdocmiller]

Salam, more about this concert. When I ws in Afghanistan, I suggest that they send their best musicians to Shiraz during the Arts Festival and maybe they would be invited to perform. The Afghans came to Shiraz and the NIRT director decided to let them have a performance if it was totally traditional. I worked with my music guru Dr. Safvat to assure a traditional performance and to emphasize instrmental solos and virtuosity rather than the unfortunately prevalent pop tunes. Dr. Lloyd. Miller

[elektra1984]

very nice video , btw i think u know about afghan music do you know the music played in kite runner the one which sohrab danced on ?

[Earthdogbonzo3]

i think harrison got pissed off cause indian youth weren't appreciating their musical cultural heritage they were pissing it away on beatles

[shishyupal]

ی

بزن این زخمه، بر آن سنگ بر آن چوب

بر آن عشق که شاید بردم راه به جایی

پرده دیگر مکن و زخمه به هنجار کهن زن

لانه ی جغد نگر کاسه ی آن بربط سغدی ز خموشی

نغمه سرکن که جهان تشنه ی آواز تو بینم

چشمم آن روز مبیناد که خاموش در این ساز تو بینم

[temari175]

Dilruba: Ustad Ghulam Nabi

[AskEleni]

The world will only forget if we let it! Thankfully, there are enough people in the world not to let traditional music die. No one in my group understood why I would never even permit electric versions of our traditional instruments in performances (electric saz, bouzouki, etc.) It is like a mutilation of the sound. Music is philosophy and life not a crowd pleasers for stadiums. We play our instruments but forget we are another Being's instruments...are you well tuned or ready for the woodpile?

[worldartsdocmiller]

Salam saib. I also am saddened every day almost to tears because so much beautiful music is being replaced by ugly electronic loud pop imitation noise. But I also am happy that God gave us beautiful music traditions which have been passed down for thousands of years until the last few decades where they are being erase by pop culture. Let's enjoy what's left while it still lasts and try to save soime of it. See my other YouTube videos the Shiraz drum duel and more Afghan videos. Dr. Lloyd Miller

[KisaiKagai]

i know what you mean by the electronic keyboard stuff they use these days. i play an afghan instrument called rubab and i try to bring the traditional music back. i plan on trying to play the afghan tanboor played in the first part of this video. i love the sound of it, i listen to gholom bahuddin's tanboor. it's very nice. oh and great videos.

[zain571948]

@worldartsdocmiller what is the name of the instrument wic h played first. i love it as it is indian?

[Malangsufi]

I do not to whether to be happy or sad. I am happy to see such works but it sadness me as I fail to see such beauty in our current time. Music is evolving, that is for sure, but I do not what is its evolving to!

Thank you

PS: Where can I find the entire video?

[zadanok]

Thank you very much for your wonderful work Dr. Miller. Much appreciated.

[manavk]

[leonmanleonman]

[worldartsdocmiller]

Salam,

Tashakur saib. I agree that many older performances reflect a power and value difficult to find in this modern age of electronics combined with all-encompassing modernization and westernization'

Dr. Lloyd Miller

[goodcyrus]
