In the footsteps of Babur: Musical encounters from the land of the Mughals

The audience was introduced to the work of the Aga Khan Music Initiative and the sounds and styles of music fostered by the Initiative.  The evening included performances by Homayun Sakhi playing the rubab — a fretted lute-like instrument from Afghanistan — and Salar Nader playing the tabla.

 

The Aga Khan Music Initiative is an interregional music and arts education programme that works to support talented musicians and music educators in preserving, transmitting and further developing their musical heritage in contemporary forms.
