Oleg Fesov

Musician

Oleg Fesov is a Tajik musician from Badakhshan who recorded the album Lalaiki Pamir in Dushanbe between 1989 and 1992. He emigrated first to Russia and later to Germany; Blue Flame Publishing (Stuttgart) released material that introduced his music to European audiences.

Sings in Tajik and Shughni; recordings mix acoustic string instruments (guitar, rubab, oud, mandolin), sitar, sax and synthesizers. The album Lalaiki Pamir reflects Pamiri and Persian-influenced folk traditions and was recorded during the late Soviet period. The review on DeBaser highlights collaborators such as Nargis Bandishoeva (featured on the track "Lalaik").

Danny The Kid's DeBaser review praises Lalaiki Pamir for blending Tajik and Pamiri (Shughni) traditions with thoughtful use of synths and varied instrumentation. Recorded in Dushanbe between 1989 and 1992, the album is presented as tranquil yet energetically diverse. The review highlights standout tracks such as "Marav" and notes historical context and emigration to Europe.

For:Fans of world music, listeners interested in Tajik/Pamiri folk, ethnomusicology enthusiasts

"Lalaiki Pamir" is one of those cases where music intertwines with true History: the songs on this album were recorded in Dushanbe between 1989 and '92, during the final phase of the slow collapse of the USSR.
