A decade on from independence, the record industry in the new democracies of the Caucasus is still undeveloped, relying mainly on a pirate market of Western popular music and 'Estrada', their incarnation of pop music developing a mix of western and traditional composition, mainly falling under the spell of the western repetitive pop formula. In this context traditional music is struggling to survive, sometimes only through foreign funding for live tours abroad, or through NGO organizations that try to preserve it in its most traditional incarnation. Central Asian music remains little known to the western public. This compilation features, for the first time in the west, the most interesting and innovative musicians have a strong knowledge of and respect for tradition and who maintain it through a mix of contemporary influences and traditional modes. Some of the artists featured are well known locally, others less so; and some are self-produced, whilst others look to the west for production

This selection represents all that is lively and vibrant coming out of the Central Asian pop machine.
