| Shashmaqom music Note Tajikistan shares this practice withUzbekistan. | 2008 | * Performing Arts * Oral traditions and expressions | For more than ten centuries, the musical tradition of shashmaqom has been cultivated in the urban centers of the region of Central Asia formerly called Mâwarâ al-nahr which corresponds to the Tajikistan et al'Uzbekistan current. The shashmaqom, literally “six maqams”, is a mixture of vocal and instrumental music, melodic and rhythmic languages and poetry. It is performed solo or by a group of singers accompanied by an orchestra of lutes, fiddle, frame drums and flutes. The instrumental introduction that usually opens the work is followed by the nasr, the main vocal part made up of two distinct groups of songs. The shashmaqom dates back to pre-Islamic times. It has been influenced throughout its history by the evolution of musicology, poetry, mathematics and Sufism. The maqam system was so successful in the ninth and tenth centuries that many music schools were opened, mainly in the Jewish community, in the city of Bukhara, historical and spiritual center of shashmaqam. The repertoire of shashmaqom requires special training from musicians because the classical notation system can only record the general framework. Oral transmission from master to student therefore remains the preferred means of preserving music and its spiritual values. From the 1970s, most of the best-known performers of shashmaqom left Tajikistan and Uzbekistan to emigrate to Israel and to United States. Since the two countries gained independence in 1991, several measures have been taken to safeguard the shashmaqom. Only a few rare musicians have retained the local performing styles taught by independent teachers. With the disappearance of many shashmaqom masters, the vast majority of current performers in Tajikistan and Uzbekistan are students from the Conservatory of Tashkent which offers composition courses. |  |

| Oshi Palav, traditional dish and its social and cultural contexts in Tajikistan | 2016 | * Social practices, rituals and festive events * Performing Arts * Know-how related to traditional craftsmanship * Oral traditions and expressions | The traditional dish known locally as Oshi Palav (pilaf) is a traditional social practice of communities in Tajikistan, who consider it part of their cultural heritage. This inclusive practice, which aims to bring together people of different origins, revolves around the preparation and tasting of Oshi Palav during meals and during celebrations, rituals and gatherings. The practice relies on a preparation based on vegetables, rice, meat and spices, but there are nearly 200 versions of this dish. The importance of this social practice for the communities of Tajikistan is reflected in sayings such as "Without Osh, no relation" or "If you eat another's Osh once, you will owe him respect for 40 years" . Groups of men and women prepare this dish, at home or in tea houses, and take the opportunity to meet, play music and sing. The knowledge and skills associated with this practice are passed on in families, from generation to generation, as well as from master to apprentice in cooking schools. When an apprentice masters the preparation of Oshi Palav, he organizes a dinner at his home to which he invites his master and other guests. During this meal, the master receives a headdress and a traditional dress as a gift; the apprentice is given a skimmer (to prepare the Oshi Palav), a symbol of his independence. |  |
| The chakan, the art of embroidery in the Republic of Tajikistan | 2018 | * Knowledge and practices concerning nature and the universe * Social practices, rituals and festive events * Know-how related to traditional craftsmanship * Oral traditions and expressions | The art of chakan embroidery involves embroidering ornaments, flowers, and symbolic designs with brightly colored threads onto cotton or silk fabrics. The tradition is widespread among women and girls in Tajikistan. Chakan embroidery is used to decorate clothing and linens (blouses, scarves, curtains, pillows and bedspreads for cribs). The embroidery reproduces symbolic and mythological images linked to the surrounding nature and the cosmos, and expresses the wishes and hopes of the population. The practice consists of choosing the fabric and threads, drawing the ornaments, making the pattern and embroidering the clothes. In the past, yarns were made from cotton and silk fibers and colored with natural paints made with plants and minerals. Nowadays, embroiderers use fabric threads. In the Khatlon region, the chakan blouse is part of the attire of brides. The bride and groom wear a “taqi” (national skullcap decorated with chakan embroidery). Tajik women and girls wear the chakan dress during national holidays and festivals. Embroidered items are an expression of beauty, elegance and the unity between man and nature. Young people learn the art of embroidery from their mothers, grandmothers and older sisters, and transmission also takes place in groups with the "ustod-shogird" method. Independent craftswomen sell their produce in bazaars and clothing stores, which represents an important source of income for them. | .JPG/150px-Вышивальшицы_(Гиссар,_Таджикистан).JPG) |
