The Silk Road: A Musical Caravan (2er CD)

Traditionelle Musik aus Afghanistan, China, Iran, Kazakhstan, Mongolei, Tajikistan u. a. + ein 38-seitiges Farbbooklet mit detaillierten Angaben

 

What if Marco Polo had owned a tape recorder? And what if his epic travels along the Silk Road had taken place not at the end of the 13th century, but at the beginning of the 21st? Far-fetched conjectures to be sure, but our compilation The Silk Road: A Musical Caravan offers a glimpse of the rich musical life that an intrepid and curious traveler like Marco Polo might find in the lands of the Silk Road today (During, Levin 2001).
