"A thin, breathy note escapes from a bone flute. A surnay cuts sharply through
the air, while layered percussion echoes like distant footsteps across mountain
villages.
Sounds once carried by shepherds, wedding processions and remote communities
are now being recorded, digitised and brought into the online world through a
new cultural platform in Uzbekistan.
A new initiative called “Ohang” aims to preserve and catalogue rare musical
traditions by recording instruments and melodies that have long remained
outside global audio libraries."
