Led by Selim Arslanbek
Selim will teach a traditional Bashkir song from Central Asia that has been documented in the 1930s. Bashkortostan is a region in present-day Russia around the Ural mountains, home to formerly nomadic people with Turkic languages. Selim's grandfather hailed from Bashkiria/Bashkortostan and would sing and play his accordion in this style for friends and family back in the days.
Please bring your musical instruments. Accordions are very welcome as they are a common instrument in the music from this region. Sukoon will demonstrate and teach the ornamented vocal parts in Soprano/Tenor for whoever is interested to learn and sing.
