We're off to a former Soviet republic for today's Geo Quiz.

We're looking for the capital of Tajikistan.

It's a good day for this particular quiz.

The city's name comes from the Tajik word for Monday.

The name refers to the central marketplace that's bustling every Monday.

The snowy peaks of the Pamir Mountains provide a scenic backdrop to the city.

One of its attractions is on Bokhtar Street right behind the mayor's office.

It's the museum of musical instruments.

You won't find any electric guitars or sampling devices here...but there are plenty of rubobs, tanburs, and ghizhaks to strum.

We'll sample this city's traditional instruments...and throw a little funk into the mix... when we reveal the answer to our quiz.
