The Aga Khan Development Network
"In the course of 25 years of performing in different parts of the world, I have become increasingly intrigued by the migration of ideas among communities. In my musical journey, I have had the opportunity to learn from a wealth of different musical voices-from the immense compassion and grace of Bach's cello suites, to the ancient Celtic fiddle traditions alive in Appalachia, to the soulful strains of the bandoneón of Argentina's tango cafés. I would like to invite you now to join me in exploring the rich cultural traditions of the Silk Road, the historic trade route that connected the peoples and traditions of Asia with those of Europe."

Neglecting to do this may be due to our failure to comprehend that the 20th century has been a century of endless genocide, beginning with the annihilation of one and a half million Armenians in the deserts of Mesopotamia, followed by millions of deaths in Stalin's GULags and in the Chinese countryside, the staggering extermination of almost 6 million Jews in the gas chambers and then by new genocides in Cambodia and in Rwanda, and moving to its conclusion with the ruins of ethnic cleansing in Bosnia, Kosovo and East Timor."
