Eastern Guitars Photo

Photographer’s Note

This kind of instruments called 'dutar','Rubab', etc. But I call them eastern guitars, because shapes are so close and sound as well but type of east. I like guitar, that's why I took this photo even when I was running to bus in Bukhara.:)

Hello
A tribute to central Asia traditional music (the influence in mediterranean area is so great...). Two inmense musical and cultural worlds, turkic and persian, join in Uzbekistan, and the result is one of the richest musics in the world.

You know? you clarify in a shot the eternal problem of musicologists: the origin of the guitar. Tar means string in persian, and Du- means two (Dutar). Guit perhaps means "melody", so Guitar, perhaps, "the melodies from strings".

I am musician (pianist, not guitarist :))) but I am convinced of the central Asia origin of the Guitar.

I like really very much your photo. Tar, Dutar, Komuz, Ghijak, afghan rubab and daf, are present. Blue background is perfect.
Thank you very much!!

Regards
Álvaro

Salom Sabo xonim,
bizga shu sharqi muziqa asboblari yaxshi ravishda ko'rgazasan. Lekin sumka va asboblarning oldidaki yer qiziq emas. Shuning uchun kesmoqchiman. Men workshop qiladim. Umid qilaman ki workshop senga yoqadi.
Hidiston'ga oq yo'l!
