Bio / Background
Masguda's disc features seventeen original instrumental compositions and ballads for both classical and modern instruments. This new collection was inspired by folk music from Tartar (Tatar) elders as well as shaman medicine and sound healers in the region.
For those new to Euro-Asian music - the "Land of the Tartars" was centrally located at the crossroads of trade between all cultures of the continents. It was a rest stop near the Silk Road. Genghis Khan also included this land in his empire.
Rosette Gault, American author, critic, and visual artist says of these modern works with ancient roots: "Listen for a rich texture of diverse yet complementary melodies woven together in harmony as carefully crafted as the highest quality great grandmothers lace. These haunting and lyric melodies will lift you up and away to places of deep sentiment and return you back home refreshed from the visit."
Masguda Shamsutdinova is a famous Tatar composer. She was born in Bashkortstan.
