Description

Explore the unique connection between popular music and state politics in Central Asia with The Sound State of Uzbekistan. This scholarly work examines the Karimov era from 2001 to 2016, a period when the Uzbek government utilized specific musical genres to shape national identity. Through extensive research, the book details how the state promoted estrada, a genre rooted in socialist traditions, to serve political purposes. Based on 20 months of dedicated fieldwork and archival research conducted in Tashkent, this study provides deep insights into how music functions within a political framework.
