Sevara Nazarkhan - Yol Bolsin
Artist
Sevara Nazarkhan
Album Review
Yol Bolsin
Label: Real World
Genre: Contemporary Folk
Origin: Uzbekistan
Format: Music CD
Wiki article
Yol Bolsin is an intriguing new export traveling west on Asia's Silk Road. The debut of 25-year-old Uzbeki singer and doutar player Sevara Nazarkhan, the album combines the rich musical tradition of her Central Asian country and fuses it with the modern sounds of noted French-Algerian producer Hector Zazou. Like much of the best stuff to come out on Real World, the combination here is timely and timeless, with Zazou's modern sounds simply providing a tasteful backing to the plucked, lutelike lines of Nazarkhan and fellow doutar player Toir Kuziyev. A pop star in Tashkent, capital of Uzbekistan, Nazarkhan has a soaring, conservatory-trained voice that conveys myriad emotions with range and an intonation enriched with deft shading.

Album Review
Brazilian Café
Label: Putumayo World Music
Genre: Bassa Nova
Origin: Brazil
Format: Music CD
Brazilian Café brings together a captivating selection of samba, bossa nova and jazz by Brazilian stars and up-and-coming talents. In the early 1960s, legendary Brazilian composers Antônio Carlos Jobim and Vinicius de Moraes hung out in an Ipanema beachside café where they would often see a beautiful neighborhood girl, Helô Pinheiro, walk by. She became the inspiration for one of the most popular songs of all time, "Girl From Ipanema." The global bossa nova boom can be traced to that moment of musical inspiration at a Brazilian café and most of the artists on this CD drew inspiration from Jobim, de Moraes and other songwriters who followed. Brazilian Café includes songs by legendary singer and songwriter Djavan and jazz star Rosa Passos.

Music CD The Best of Yulduz Usmanova by Yulduz Usmanova
Yulduz Usmanova - The Best of Yulduz Usmanova
Artist
Yulduz Usmanova
Album Review
The Best of Yulduz Usmanova
Label: Blue Flame
Genre: Contemporary Folk
Origin: Uzbekistan
Format: Music CD
Wiki article
Yulduz Usmanova is from Uzbekistan, along the fabled Silk Road trade route in Central Asia. Her singing is a fusion of intricately coded styles, which includes borrowings from Turkish and Persian rhythms and scales. She is accompanied by the tanbur (a long-necked lute) and the doira (a hand drum) but often wields a wicked backbeat and sees no reason why she should not use the latest electronic percussion and synthesizers. She is a folk singer and a club diva, a Moslem woman who wears miniskirts and was elected to her country's parliament, and an international figure who resides in a rural area outside of Tashkent.
