The authentic sound of Central Asia- Buchara
	Allo Alaev has deep roots in the music of Tajikistan and the Jewish music of Buchara. Allo Alaev was born in Samarcande, 1932, a major station on the Silk Road. Samarcande stands at an ancient cultural crossroad and its music is a blend of Turkish, Persian, Chinese and Russian. Allo's father, Nisan, was an acclaimed singer and his mother, Adino, was considered the most brilliant doyra (frame drum) artist in the whole region of Samarcande. Alaev took up the doyra at an early age, made rapid progress and was soon appointed the first percussionist of the folk Opera Company of the Tajikistan capital Dushanbe. During the 1960's and 70's he toured Europe, the far East and Africa as a member of several Soviet folk troupes. He received numerous international prizes for his performance. In 1991 the Alaev family immigrated to Israel and made an immediate impact on the local music scene. Allo accomplished what so many artist wish: to continue the tradition in the family.
