She Pays Particular Attention To The Term Musiqi (Which Can Be Generally Translated As Secular Music) And How Misinterpretations Of This Construct May Be The Root Of Western Misunderstandings About Music And Musicians In Muslim Societies.Sakata Collaborated With Smithsonian Folkways Recordings To Produce A Cd Of Afghan Music, Which Is Included With The Book.
