A local tradition of Hindustanu raga has existed in Kabul since the 1860s, when Amir Sher Ali Khan brought a number of classically trained musicians from India to perform at his court. The present-day avatar of this tradition is Homayun Sakhi, the greatest Afghan rubâb player of his generation. This concert pairs for the first time Homayun Sakhi with Brooklyn-based sarod playerKen Zuckerman, the leading disciple of the late Ali Akhbar Khan, and a consummate master in his own right. They will be joined by the young Afghan tabla virtuoso Salar Nader, a student of Zakir Hussain.
