The Music Men


The Music Men
Dushanbe, Tajikistan 
Gurniji Museum of Musical Instruments
April 24, 2025

It was a treat to hear these old men perform.  They are the last of a dying bred of musicians and they are a national treasure.  They rarely perform together because there just isn't enough interest. But they performed for us in a small room in thier small national museum of traditional instruments.  The oldest man got up and danced for us.  And when I told him he reminded me of Michael Jackson, he laughed.  They all laughed with and at him and the moment was joyful.
