With tabla player Taryalai Hashimi, Sakhi plays music that is uniquely Afghan, yet resonates strongly with the spirit of Indian raga. A bonus DVD offers an intimate portrait of Homayun Sakhi and his musical life from Kabul, Afghanistan, to Peshawar, Pakistan, to Fremont, California. Produced by Theodore Levin and Joel Gordon in collaboration with the Aga Khan Music Initiative in Central Asia, a project of the Aga Khan Trust for Culture, and Smithsonian Folkways. The aim of the series is to present leading exponents of Central Asia's rich and diverse musical heritage to listeners outside the region.
