 Transoxania
Levin spent time in Tashkent as a graduate student in the 1970s, and he has returned to this region on several occasions, both during the Soviet era and after.
Levin's book, then, chronicles his journeys throughout this region, as he and OM search out these "fools of God," traditional musicians who have managed to preserve and sustain their culture's beliefs and music despite the intense pressures of the modern world.
Levin's encounters with these professionals suggest that these artists struggle to make ends meet, largely because the music they play is typically classical maquam, or Islamic court music, and there haven't been emirs in Samarkand since the 1920s.

 Book Reviews | Orion Magazine Sept-Oct 2006
Since the 1980s, Levin has helped bring Tuvan throat-singing to the United States, and in turn he's studied a full range of lesser-known central Asian music in former Soviet territories, music he has previously documented on the fabulous CDs Tuva, Among the Spirits and The Silk Road: A Musical Caravan.
The music on these discs is situated in its original environment, with sounds of water, horses, and wind?not sterilized in a modern studio.
Overtone singing, explains Levin, "imitates sounds produced by the places or beings in which the spirit-masters dwell." The harsh, open land that inspired this music is full of natural overtones.

Moreover, he has released a number of his field recordings of these musics to wide acclaim—including the incomparable Tuva: Among the Spirits: Sound, Music, and Nature in Sakha and Tuva (I'll review this work soon) and the accompanying album for this book (which I'll discuss in yet another review).
The Hundred Thousand Fools of God: Musical Travels in Central Asia (and Queens, New York), then, was written by someone with a lot of knowledge about traditional music of Central Asia—or, more specifically, the music of Transoxania, the region "beyond the Oxus River" that includes parts of Turkmenistan and Tajikistan and most of Uzbekistan.
These artists survive playing at state-sponsored concerts or at weddings and other festivals (called toys)—though, thanks to Levin and others (like Yo-Yo Ma), they are starting to gain a wider Western audience.
