Friday's recital in what has proved, once again, to be a fascinating series of EIF concerts, was entitled The Art of the Afghan Rubab, and was surely for most of those present, like myself, an introduction to the ancient stringed instrument, a little like the Indian sarod.
Hamoyun Sakhi is a leading exponent of the rubab and a quite astonishing player, with lightning fingering and picking, and he was accompanied by two equally virtuosic percussionists, Salar Nader on tabla and Abbos Kosimov on the bodhran-like doyra.
