The Golden Road takes us on a journey along the sublime and sophisticated musical roads of the ancient civilizations of Afghanistan, India, and Iran. Three masters of the music of these influential cultures come together to transcend borders and play their rich, ancestral melodies, seldom heard together. The dialogues between the rubab of Afghan master Homayoun Sakhi, the bamboo flute of the prodigious Shashank Subramanyam, and the Persian setar of virtuoso Kiya Tabassian are enriched and accompanied by the dazzling playing of percussionist Hamin Honari.
