Vintage Video of Hunza - 1937

Vintage video (footage) of Hunza (Pakistan) shot in 1937
This silent educational film shows rural life in the mountainous valley near Gilgit -- now in the Northern Areas of Pakistan. There is footage of fertility rites performed by the Mir and scenes of the daily life of the locals; this includes the production of apricot wine which is lovingly called 'Hunza water'.
This and other videos on Hunza are available for discussion on this blog post:

The music sound so much alike with illyrian today Albanian music can i ask where the music from and is it related to these people?

[@Rashid-un2ql]

Yes, it is hunzai music

[@nirohunzai]

No one actually knows where this instrument came from it is called tutek. A recorder type flute made of appricot wood.. its name matches the armenain duduk here we call it (tutek).no reed just all made of wood.. the wind blows from straight front, same as duduk.a lot sound difference between duduk and tutek.
