Bekbolot Abduvaliev performs traditional Komuz choreography

 Osh Philharmonia Gala concert

July 15th : Setting up for the concert went really well, unlike some of the venues earlier. There was a PA system and lighting which was organised professionally.
The concert was a great success with a standing ovation.
Osh TV invited us for an interview the next morning
The head of Osh city cultural office gave us a speech and invited us to return to a festival he had organised. We met an Uzbek musician who would have liked to collaborate with us. However it was Ramadan and the next day was Eid al-Fitr and like most people he would be very busy. In fact one of the things we learnt during the whole trip was that as it was Ramadan less people would be able to attend the concerts.
