Mowlam Nuryyew: Turkmen folk music
Posted by q4s4 on 2008/04/20
Some Turkmen named Mowlam Nuryyew playing a dutar, a traditional instrument, while singing a folk-type song all improv-like.
It is not the type of music that will get into the Top 40 but it is certainly different from anything you normally see on MTV. Check out the clip after 02:45!
Non-commercial, with no care about being the best and full of emotion. That is the essence of a society the West improperly perceives to be “undemocratic” and “backward”.
