Shekhailay Tambakoo - Herat Afghanistan - Tamboor

Song - 'Nusro Nusro Jan' - I first met Mir Agha Kushtu, who joking called himself 'Mr Tobacco,' in 1975 when I was fortunate enough to spend several months in Herat. He was a cobbler by trade and a magical tamboor player. This song was recorded in his shop March, 24, 1978. The second scene in the video was taken sitting in his shop looking across the street and the other street scene at 2:45 is the street his shop was on (the last doorway on the right hand side with the red cloth hanging over it). *** See more pictures and read some sample chapters of my new book about Pakistan as you've never read before, a completely different sort of book, at http://www.pbase.com/noorkhan
