Delightful viewers,welcome to Enlightening Entertainment on Supreme Master Television.
In today’s program,please join us for part one of a two-part interview with the distinguished Afghan musician Daud Khan Sadozai,who is best known in Europe for his performances using a traditional Afghan instrument, the robab, and its descendent, the sarod.
Born in Kabul in 1955,Mr. Sadozai studied robab with virtuoso Ustad Muhammad Umar of Afghanistan,and sarod with Maestro Ustad Amjad Ali Khan in India. He later settled in Cologne, Germany,
where he is the head of the Academy of Indian Music, which was founded by Maestro Ustad Amjad Ali Khan. Mr. Sadozai has published his CD-recording 『Tribute to Afghanistan.』 He has also released 『The Voice of the Mystics,』 『The Soul of Sound,』 and 『A World of String and Sound.』
Supreme Master Television had the honor to interview Mr. Sadozai.
Mr. Sadozai (m): As a child, I was always very touched by it and in Afghanistan it was the custom,everywhere in cafés…even trucks had music playing and the speakers
were outside and one could hear music all day long.
In my family circle,my father was the one who always invited musicians. And in the evenings they played music and it was very interesting for me and one day, by way of radio, there was no TV at that time,
I became very interested in the robab sound. And then one day I also heard them live.That is how it started.
