My new friend from Afghanistan has been enlightening me on the culture and other things from her country. (Note: she is from a city, so I believe some cultural experiences may be less conservative than rural or other parts of her country.) At one of our last meetings, she introduced me to some Afghan popular music. It wasn’t what I expected at all. Enjoy!
Kabul Dreams: If rock is more your thing (which it is for me), they also have Kabul Dreams. (I found this one tonight on my own when I became curious to see if they have more rock-style music, too. Wikipedia says they are the first rock band from Afghanistan, so I’ll have to ask my friend about them when I see her next. I love the glimpses of the city of Kabul in some of their videos. Also interesting for perspective. Traffic looks crazy!)
