This website serves as a companion to the print edition and e-book version of The Music of Central Asia, edited by Theodore Levin, Saida Daukeyeva, and Elmira Köchümkulova (Indiana University Press, 2016).
Each of the 189 audio and video tracks accessed through this link represents a music example discussed in The Music of Central Asia. Track numbers correspond to example numbers in the print edition. Tracks are provided as streaming audio or video and cannot be downloaded.
Music examples with poetic texts or song lyrics whose length made it impractical to include them in the print edition of The Music of Central Asia are provided on the website, and may be downloaded in PDF format or read on a linked web page.
The print edition and e-book version of The Music of Central Asia may be ordered online from Indiana University Press. For more information about the Aga Khan Music Initiative, which hosts this website and supported the creation and publication of The Music of Central Asia, see the AKDN website.
