Davlatmand Kholov
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Davlatmand Kholov (Tajik/Persian:Давлатманд Холов/دولتمند خالوف) is a musician and singer from Kulob in Tajikistan. An expert in the southern folk genre of Tajik music called Falak. A multi-instrumentalist, trained in Shashmaqam at the Conservatory of Music in Dushanbe, he's well known for his works on the two-string dutar, ghijak, and setar which are popular instruments in Central Asia. He plays and sings poetry of the Sufi poets, mainly Jalaleddin Rumi; Davlatmand’s outlook is close to Rumi’s poetry and philosophy. He also belongs to the post-Soviet nationalist school of thought, or is influenced by "Tajikisation", therefore turning his back on Tajik shashmaqam. This can be displayed through his works: "Sawt-i falak" or "The Voices of Falak", where he creates European symphonic settings to tell tales of Tajik life and rural practices. [1] He has released the album Learned & Folk Music on January 9, 1996. [1]
