About the CD/DVD:
A bold collaboration between Americas premier new music quartet, Azerbaijans best-loved traditional singer, and the leading Afghan rubâb player of his generation. Featured works include Homayun Sakhis luminous Rainbow, for string quartet, rubâb, tabla, and Central Asian percussion, and spirited arrangements of Azerbaijani songs performed by Kronos Quartet and the Alim Qasimov Ensemble.

Alim Qasimov & Homayun Sakhi bring Central Asian music to the west, courtesy of the Kronos Quartet. We owe a debt of gratitude to all these musicians for proving to us that pluralistic thinking produces beautiful music - that east and west can come together and bless us with such incredible music. THANK YOU !

These collaborations are fascinating! I love the idea of music as a universal connection, regardless of the differences in language and culture, etc. Great job! :)
