Have you ever thought: What can join Oriental poetry with its deep meaning & Central Asian ethnic music with its folk tunefulness? Makom is an embodiment of these two muses…
Dilnura is a generally recognized Central Asian Diva of makom-singing, the genre of big cycle compositions. Makoms are traditionally Sufi songs performing to traditional Uzbek music instruments. The lyrics of makoms are comprised by the poems of Oriental poets (Jami, Navoi, Fuzuli, Khafiz, Bedil, Mukimi, Ogakhi and others). Dilnura has deep, rich and temperament feminine vocal, which charms you with its enigmatic and pathetic influence. She has extraordinary ability to grow accustomed to a tune-intonation related to the peculiarity of melody and verse theme. Since 1983 Tashkent holds a contest of makom performance, in which Dilnura is successfully presented annually since 1997.
