This collection was recorded during fieldwork into the sung poetry of Tajik Badakhshan, also known as the Autonomous Region of Gorno Badakhshan or simply Pamir (The Pamirs), in the south east of the Central Asian republic of Tajikistan. A number of regions within Tajik Badakhshan were visited in 1992 and 1993 (and in later years) in order to record music and poetry. These regions are Shughnan, Rushan including the Bartang valley up to the village of Roshorw, and Wakhan.
