  BAJOUR - LoveToKnow Article on BAJOUR
To the south of Bajour is the wild mountain district of the Mohmands, a Pathan race.
The drainage of Bajour flows eastwards, starting from the eastern slopes of the dividing ridge which overlooks the Kunar and terminating in the Panjkora river, so that the district lies on a slope tilting gradually downwards from the Kunar ridge to the Panjkora.
Nawagai is the chief town of Bajour, and the khan of Nawagai is under British protection for the safeguarding of the Chitral road.

 Simón Bajour
In certain way, Bajour was helped by the circumstances, because he appeared in tango when the genre required more and more trained musicians.
As a matter of fact, Galván wrote the arrangements for the Stampone-Federico orchestra that Atilio and Leopoldo headed between 1952 and 1953 and in which Szymsia was the lead violin.
Bajour was later the first one in playing as soloist "Tanguango", premiered in 1950 by Simón at the Sevilla cinema theater of La Paternal, before Piazzolla himself.

 KUNAR - LoveToKnow Article on KUNAR
From 20 to 30 miles up the river on its left bank, under the Bajour hills, are thick clusters of villages, amongst which are the ancient towns of Kunar and Pashat.
The chief tributary from the Kafiristan hills is the Pechdara, which joins the river close to Chagan Sarai.
This is probably due to the late occupation of the valley by KafIrs, who spread eastwards into Bajour within comparatively recent historical times, and who still adhere to their fastnesses in the Kashmund hills.

 Adiós Nonino
The first is by its composer with his quintet: Piazzolla on bandoneon, Jaime Gosis on piano, Quicho Díaz on double bass, Horacio Malvicino on electric guitar and Simón Bajour on violin, a group which recorded it for the Antar-Telefunken label (Montevideo), in the year 1960.
And that melodic, touching passage of the composition, almost usually assigned to the strings –which are those most suited to express it-, was in charge of the remarkable interpretation of Simón Bajour, one of the best violinists in tango history.
The sweetness of his sound, the finesse of his interpretation and his extraordinary sensitivity knew how to understand and express the message of pain that the author left implied on that theme, in an admirable way.

He was the younger son of the khan of Jandol; but he killed his elder brother, seized the throne, and made himself a power on the frontier.
In 1894 he held undisputed sway over almost the whole of Bajour, when his restless ambition caused him to interfere in the internal affairs of Chitral.
He instigated Amir-ul-Mulk, a half-witted brother of the Chitral chief, to murder his brother Nizam-ul-Mulk, and then threw over the fratricide and supported the claims of his uncle Sher Afzul to the throne.

 Bajour
Who remembers Bajour, a show that came and went in 232 performances on Broadway in November 1964; one of those pieces that seems not to have left a shred behind, despite a so-so run?
Based on a series of short stories published in the New Yorker about gypsies in New York, the show was the first outing for the composer Walter Marks; he subsequently wrote the score for Golden Rainbow.
There could be no finer reminder of this friendly old show than these superbly recorded sessions, the first original cast recording produced by the veteran Thomas Z Shepherd.

 Bajour (1964 Original Broadway Cast) Popular Music
First I had the piano score, then I had to get the vinyl, and then, thank goodness, the CD came out to preserve this relic of a simpler and more innocent time in musical theatre history.
BAJOUR is another of those Broadway cult-flops that one can't help but fall in love with.
The CD of Bajour is the perfect example of a "nice" Broadway show: Plesant score with a few nice songs such as "Words, Words, Words" and "Where is the Tribe for Me", but nothing groundbreaking or remarkable about it.

Bajour, the musical tale of gypsies trying to pull one over some naive New Yorkers, opened exactly a year after the Kennedy assassination -- November 22, 1964 -- and was gone the following June, after 232 performances.
Sure, he was highly influenced by the originals, but he gave the show a softer and gentler sound at times.
There are reprises of "Tribe" (Sang Emily to Momma, "There, there is the tribe for me. I never dreamed they'd be near the BMT.") and "Bajour," in which Emily decides to become the gypsies' confederate.
