Event overview
Ustad Rahim: Herat’s Rubab Maestro (2008, filmed in 1994), Directed by John Baily.
Emeritus Professor John Baily will present the screening.
The Afghanistan Music Unit is pleased to announce the release of a new film by John Baily, copies of which can be found in Goldsmiths’ library. 'Ustad Rahim: Herat’s Rubab Maestro' is a portrait of an outstanding musician, Ustad Rahim Khushnawaz, a master of the Afghan rubab, a double-chambered plucked lute with sympathetic strings that is considered to be the national instrument of Afghanistan. This is edited from footage shot in Herat in 1994, in the period between the fall of the last leftist government and the coming of the Taliban. It was planned that Ustad Rahim should be part of the AMC-AMU tour but tragically he died five months ago in his beloved Herat.
