unknown title – Tujanhan Kasim – This woman was so incredible. Her voice and sapaya rhythm cut clean through all the dust, vehicles and noise on the Artux street she was begging on. We invited her to our local helper Dilnur’s house nearby, offered her lunch, a place to escape the heat & exhaust of the street for a bit and recorded a few long songs. She said she’d just come from her village, Paize Awat earlier that day.
