Alma Alma Yulduz Usmanova

Yulduz Usmanova’s album Alma Alma is her first to be released in the U.S. Combining the traditional folk sounds of Uzbekistan with her own native style, this album also incorporates modern recording technology. Synthesizers are heard alongside traditional instruments such as the gijak and domdra. The album, while decidedly ethnic sounding, is also full of sparkling melodies that often sound like pop hooks. A balance is struck between ballads and up-tempo tunes that makes for very diverse and refreshing listening. All lyrics are in Uzbek language.
