Beautiful recordings of music from Bojnoord in North Khorasan. Mostly bards (Bakhshis) accompanying themselves on the Dotar. American edition of a cassette originally published in Iran. See here a cassette of Turkmen music from the same festival we posted recently.

The city is famous for its
Turkmen horses and professional horse training centers. People from all over
