Thus, music touches different sides of musical culture of the present time: both aesthetic orientations and forms of musical expression, interrelation between a composer and wide audience.

 Identity and Exoticism in Sevara Nazarkhan's Yol Bolsin by Tanya Merchant
The importance of promulgating Uzbek language as a part of Uzbek nationalism and the shift away from Russian as the lingua franca is certainly evident in Nazarkhan's oeuvre.

In terms of the world music scene, she is able to combine both traditional songs and modern electronic music, mixed in at a European studio.

 H-Net Review: Robin Bisha on The Hundred Thousand Fools of God: Musical Travels in Central Asia (and ...
In demonstrating the similarities in musical culture among the Uzbek and Tajik Muslim populations and between the Muslims and the Bukharan Jews, he also analyzes the Soviet cultural policies which attempted to build ethnic (or national in Soviet parlance) identities to correspond with the borders of the Union Republics of the region.
For the most part, however, performers with a deep spiritual component to their music, the fools of God of the title, lament that they are the last of their breed, that people have become secular in their desires and that music as Turgun Alimatov and Tohfaxan Pinkhasova, for example, have practiced it is dying.
Perhaps the absence of even traces of European musical aesthetics in the music Levin recorded is the most telling evidence of the failure of Soviet policy both to eradicate the old musical/religious tradition and to replace it with a pan-Soviet culture.
