Uzbekistan (November, 2019) – We wandered back past the Kalta Minor Minaret, the turquoise hues illuminating in the bright winter sun. Detouring back towards musicians we had seen earlier in the day, we discovered that the crowd was larger. We watched as several women joined in the serenade, dancing to the rhythmic tunes. As the musical session ended, three women approached us with an inquisitive examination and to take selfies.
