About Ashkhabad

The band played traditional Turkmenian music infused with elements from Persia, Azerbaijan, and Turkey, as well as elements froma wide range of musics --- from the sounds of the desert to jazz and rock. They were the first musical group from the former Soviet Union to be published under the label of Peter Gabriel - Real World (division of Virgin Records). The band stopped when lead singer Atabai Charykuliev died in 2009.
