In the Footsteps of Babur - Homayun Sakhi

A local tradition of Hindustani raga has existed in Kabul since the 1860s, when Amir Sher Ali Khan brought a number of classically trained musicians from India to perform at his court. The present-day avatar of this tradition is Homayun Sakhi, the greatest Afghan rubab player of his generation. This concert pairs Homayun Sakhi and his Afghan rubab with sarod player Ken Zuckerman, the leading disciple of the late Ali Akbar Khan, and a consummate master in his own right.
