PLEASE NOTE: THE EVENT WILL BE IN RUSSIAN.
Uzbekistan has been known through much of the 20th and 21st centuries for its dynamic popular music scene, from pop bands like Yalla and the beloved Tashkent Music Hall to contemporary artists like Yulduz Usmanova, Munisa Rizaeva, and Shohruhxon. In this Russian-language seminar, we will discuss the origins of Uzbek popular music, including where it comes from and how it developed. How did Uzbekistan come to gain such renown across the world? We will also ask what the prospects of Uzbek pop music are today as Uzbekistan searches for its place in the dynamic Central Asian region.
