1993 Ashkhabad - City of Love - Real World Records


The musical traditions of Turkmenistan are combined with non-eastern music influences by Ashkhabad. With its mixture of such Middle Eastern instruments as serp, nagara, taragat and dutar and western classical instruments including violin, viola and cello, the group creates a sound that recalls the cinematic music of Egypt and India. This is his debut album, "and the musicians includes Khekberdy Allamuradov (serp, dep and nagara), Sabir Rizaer (clarinet, percussion, soprano sax, serp and nagara), Gassan Mamedov (violin) and Bernd von Ostrowski (bass, acoustic bass) and London-based musicians including David DeFries (fluegelhorn), Caroline LaVello (cello), Jacelyn Pook (viola) and Sonia Slang (violin). Liner notes for the album were written by Peter Gabriel.
