| | VIA KABOUL : Music of Central Asia |
 | | Homayun Sakhi, formerly of Kabul, later a refugee in Peshawar, Pakistan, and presently a resident of California, is possibly the finest rubab player of his generation. |
 | | A student of the great rubab master, Ustad Omar, Homayun performs a style of music rooted in the classical raga tradition of North India that was cultivated in Kabul beginning in the nineteenth century. |
 | | Shifting the distinctive melodic modes and virtuosic performance style of Indian raga to the Afghan rubab, Homayun Sakhi infuses his interpretations with rhythms and melodic ornamentation that reflect his own Kabuli heritage. |
