SAMARKAND.ME

01 The Table

Food of the Silk Road

In Samarkand, cooking is inheritance. Master chefs — the oshpaz — layer devzira rice, yellow carrot and lamb into cauldrons the size of satellite dishes, and samsa comes out of clay tandyr ovens blistered and glowing. Plov culture is UNESCO-listed intangible heritage — and these films take you inside the kitchens that keep it alive.

02 The Sound

Anthems of Samarkand

Where East meets bassline. Official music videos and club mixes recorded for Samarkand.me — from the Hymn of Plov to a shaurma serenade, from a Moskvich road-trip ballad to collections of eastern hits you physically cannot switch off. Slide through the tracklist.

03 The Laughter

Shorts from the Old City

Vertical, chaotic, and dangerously rewatchable. Giant cauldrons, robot chefs, world plov-eating championships and questions you simply don't ask in Samarkand — sixty seconds of the city's sense of humor at a time. Tap a phone to play.
