From the comforts of our Brooklyn life, we move out to Baku, the Caspian Sea capital of Azerbaijan for 15 months.

Yo Yo Ma and the Silk Road Project



Yesterday, we got to see YoYo Ma's Silk Road Project play with Alim Qasimov and other mugam musicians. It was a free concert at the Baku Music Academy. When we (Sevda, Linda, Jim and I) came in the auditorium was packed with Azerbaijani students and teachers and they were in the middle of a Q&A session. Jim and I walked up towards the front. Jim gave YoYo the "Asian brother" nod, and YoYo looked at us and smiled back. Posted by Picasa
