Real World Remixed | Download (1849 words)
Sen ('you' in Uzbek) - is the album Sevara has always wanted to make: a looping, shimmering, beats-laden gem underscored by traditional instrumentation with Uzbek-language lyrics sent soaring by her unforgettable voice.
Produced by Sevara in collaboration with Russian electro-techno wizard Victor Sologub and the West Country's much-touted Bruno Ellingham - who prepared this sample pack for us - Sen is an outstanding studio production and energized by the spirit of her live performance.
Featuring a soaring vocal performance from Iarla O Lionaird and Sevara this remix pack has all you'd need to create a stunning remix of this beautiful track.
Identity and Exoticism in Sevara Nazarkhan's Yol Bolsin by Tanya Merchant (4335 words)
Nazarkhan's image in the international scene seems to be the result of a very conscious marketing of her as an archetype of the exotic Central Asian woman.
Nazarkhan is shown on the Yol Bolsin album cover enveloped in long red dress, reminiscent of the image of red rose that is visible through the clear plastic after lifting the CD from its case.
Nazarkhan's name is very subtly placed on the far left of the recording, vertically in a lighter version of the orange that is the background color of the album art.
