	Identity and Exoticism in Sevara Nazarkhan's Yol Bolsin by Tanya Merchant
		Nazarkhan's image in the international scene seems to be the result of a very conscious marketing of her as an archetype of the exotic Central Asian woman.
		Nazarkhan is shown on the Yol Bolsin album cover enveloped in long red dress, reminiscent of the image of red rose that is visible through the clear plastic after lifting the CD from its case.
		Nazarkhan's name is very subtly placed on the far left of the recording, vertically in a lighter version of the orange that is the background color of the album art.

		Sevara Nazarkhan, a twenty-five-year-old, Uzbek singer, songwriter and musician, is a direct descendent of this past.
		It is not unusual for Sevara, a slight, striking woman with long, dark hair, to be stopped on the street by her fans who thank her for her music.
		Sevara jokes that she forced Zazou to eat, drink, and dress Uzbeki - and always central to this experience is pure tradition.

		Singer-songwriter Nazarkhan claims she is neither interested in creating just traditional music nor just commercial pop.
		Nazarkhan comes from a musical family - her father headed the traditional music department in Tashkent radio, her mother taught traditional string instruments, and she studied at Tashkent State Conservatoire under the country's formidable singers and ethnomusicologists.
		Although Yol Bolsin is generally described as her debut, Nazarkhan's music has previously been issued (often on cassette) in her home country and in Uzbekistan's capital Tashkent she is considered a pop star.

		Sevara Nazarkhan was walking through Tashkent's market when she encountered two aged women singing a haunting traditional air.
		It was at the conservatory that Nazarkhan encountered the maqams, the centuries-old modal song cycles which are related in structure to Arab classical music and through that to the modes of Ancient Greece, all part of the flow of culture and ideas along the Silk Road.
		And that really is what Nazarkhan is all about: drawing together folk and electronica, the legacies of the Soviet and medieval Islamic worlds and everything else that has gone into creating her, through one peerlessly beautiful voice.

		All that pressure is apparent in Nazarkhan's voice when she phones in from the road.
		At the notoriously traditional and rigorous Tashkent State Conservatory, Nazarkhan studied the doutar, an ancient Central Asian instrument that resembles a lute, and mastered the region's maqams, scales and musical patterns that predate Uzbekistan itself by centuries.
		Nazarkhan believes her synthesis of music is a way to introduce Western ears to a rich tradition of music that, like the Silk Road where it was born, mixes elements of the Middle East with those of Eastern Asia.

		The debut of 25-year-old Uzbeki singer and doutar player Sevara Nazarkhan, the album combines the rich musical tradition of her Central Asian country and fuses it with the modern sounds of noted French-Algerian producer Hector Zazou.
		Anyway, Sevara definitely has a good voice, and the album is well put together, mixing the traditional with the new, and can surely sell well to the 28-45 year old crowd who drive audis and hang out in single-letter-titled-bars.
		Sevara Nazarkhan has a beautiful voice, and she is backed here by a combination of traditional instruments and electronic FX that is (on the whole) elegant rather than heavy-handed.

		At 25, Sevara Nazarkhan is one of the biggest pop vocal stars in her native Uzbekistan, the former Soviet Republic nation located between Turkey, Iran and China.
		On her first album to be released abroad, she focuses on centuries-old Central Asian folk styles, with an emphasis on Silk Road peasant songs, Sufi poems and maqams (a classical Islamic musical form that uses a cyclical pattern of quarter tones).
		Nazarkhan's plaintive singing dances above the nimble instrumental work of an eight-piece Uzbecki ensemble led by Toir Kuziyev, a master of the doutar (a two-stringed lute) and sato (a high-plains fiddle).

	The Suburbs Are Killing Us
		Nazarkhan opened for Peter Gabriel last year, and she would join him to do Youssou N'Dour's part on "In Your Eyes" (would have loved to hear her do Tony Levin's basso profundo bit, perhaps while wearing a big-ass 'stache and 1980s trenchcoat---w/collar up, natch).
		Buy the download for her self-produced Gozal Dema album (pretty much impossible to find otherwise) and two tracks from her forthcoming Uzbekistan-only CD, Netay, including the OG version of "Mogulchai Navo," before Hector Zazou and the Real World Crew fed it through the computer (not that I mind at all, hence the posting).
		It has something of a hip-hop beat + back-up singers, and Nazarkhan is doing the coolest step: she barely twists up her long silk dress and just leans back, leans back.

	Sevara Nazarkhan - Yol Bolsin - Review - Stylus Magazine
		In some ways, Nazarkhan's musical heritage is influenced both by the traditional sounds of her Islamic, Central Asian culture and the musical hegemony of western pop and rock music.
		What is apparent when listening to Nasarkhan's debut western release, Yol Bolsin, is that she is comfortable in both musical worlds, for this is, without a doubt, a perfect example of "world beat fusion." The songs are primarily Uzbeki traditional and folk melodies, though there are a few more contemporary numbers thrown in as well.
		I can imagine a time twenty years from now when a copy of Nazarkhan's music—minus the electronic overdubs—will sound as if it were recorded yesterday, while this album will sound, well, like it was created twenty years ago.

	Sevara Nazarkhan's 'Yol Bolsin' reviewed on the official website of Laura Hird
		In Adolat Tanovari (Song of Adolat), Nazarkhan’s voice shimmers, and this is one of those pieces where Western and Eastern styles merge into an ethereal whole as she sings to a lover, asking to take away their pain.

		Sevara Nazarkhan has been compared to Natacha Atlas, but this is not an accurate comparison.
