Five Video Clips from Afghanistan | Norient.Com 10 Oct 2021 17:53:02 Five Video Clips from Afghanistan PLAYLIST by Lisa Akbary Five Video Clips from Afghanistan | norient.com 10 Oct 2021 17:53:02 Five Video Clips from Afghanistan PLAYLIST by Lisa Akbary After the Taliban Regime made the playing and hearing of music illegal and impossible, in the past twelve years music in Afghanistan has come back to life and taken a new and modern path. There is no place in the country, where you don’t hear new hits, no shop or home where music videos aren’t screened and watched on TV. Just recently the show Estareya Afghan (Afghan Star) similar to was one of the most popular shows in the country. Music and music videos of the new era in Afghanistan are a synergie of classical instruments and sounds, Bollywood and Western Style. But one phenomenon is constant: its all about love and peace, in a country that is still facing insecurity and political crisis. Artist: Brishna Ameel Track: Sola Video not available anymore. Breshna Amel is a famous Pashton singer that is consequently refusing poppy candy music videos but rather well known for a traditional way of singing and video productions. She is admired for her high and soft voice. In this song Amel is singing about the peace that she wishes for her country in a rather poetic way. Artist: Valy Track: Pashtou – Attani Is another Pashto music video is a classical example of Afghanistans modern music videos: a lot of kitch, beaches and of course a love story. Valy is a famous Afghan pop singer that has even made it in Pakistan. Born in Iran and living in Germany he is an example of famous Afghan singers producing famous pop songs from abroad. This video is however critizised to have nothing to do with «Atan» the traditional Pashtoon tribal dance. https://norient.com/video/5-video-clips-from-afghanistan Page 1 of 3 Five Video Clips from Afghanistan | norient.com 10 Oct 2021 17:53:02 Artist: Naghma Track: Chal De Meene Ta Jor Kare De Video not available anymore. Naghma is a prominent Afghan singer that started her career in the 1970’s. As Farhad Darya, the American based superstar, she sings in both languages, dari and pashto. This video shows a concert of Naghma, probably in Afghanistan. As you can see: not a single woman is in the crowd. Artist: Shafiq Mureed Track: Khanda Ko Video not available anymore. This video in another national language, Hazaragi, is a nice example of a revamped traditional music video style (and it even has English subtitles here). This song celebrates the spring and invites to «laugh and forget about all worries». As many Afghan videos it gives a snapshot of Afghanistans breathtaking landscape and nature. Shafiq Mureed is a famous pop singer from Laghman and has produced many concerts and music videos in Afghanistan. Artist: Jawid Sharif Track: Yak Qadam Pesh Jawid Sharif is the booming star of present day Afghanistan. He is singing in dari and his Hit «Yak Qadam Pesh» was a super hit last year, playing up and down everywhere in Kabul. He took part of the jury of Estareye Afghan (Afghan Star) and is the most famous dari singing popstar of the new generation. → Published on September 03, 2014 → Last updated on September 21, 2021 Lisa Akbary lives and works in Afghanistan since 2009.

  • Afghan Music in Australia John Baily*
    BAILY, John (2010), “Afgan music in Australia”, in CÔRTE-REAL, Maria de São José (ed.), Migrações Journal - Special Issue Music and Migration, October 2010, no. 7, Lisbon: ACIDI, pp. 157-176 Afghan music in Australia John Baily* Abstract Based on research carried out in Melbourne and Sydney in 2009, this paper discusses Afghan migration to Australia, the emergen- ce of the multicultural society, the civic promotion of the Afghan Bazaar Precinct in Dandenong (Melbourne), the genres of Afghan music performed in Australia, with brief biographies of some of the musicians, and a survey of CDs produced in Australia. The pa- per concludes that the Afghan-Australian community (less than 25,000 overall) is too small to support a fully-fledged Afghan mu- sic profession. The result is a vigorous amateur music scene cate- ring for a community of music lovers. The work of three contem- porary Australian composers influenced by Afghan music is also discussed, to show how the culture of this immigrant community has enriched Australian culture. Keywords Afghanistan, Australia, multiculturalism, recordings, professiona- lism, keyboards. * Emeritus Professor of Ethnomusicology, Head of the Afghanistan Music Unit, Department of Music, Goldsmiths, University of London ([email protected]) Migrações _ #7 _ October 2010 157 Afghan music in Australia John Baily Introduction My research on the music of Afghanistan began in the 1970s, with two years of eth- nomusicological fieldwork, most of it in the provincial city of Herat, and to a lesser extent the capital, Kabul. My research in Herat was wide-ranging, looking into the performance of various genres: urban and rural; folk, popular and art; vocal and ins- trumental; traditional and modern; professional and amateur; female and male; and also at various forms of religious singing that did not fall clearly into the category of music, such as Sufi zikr, Shiah lamentations and Quranic recitation.

  • "New Music" Between Afghanistan and Its Transnational Community by John Baily* (London, United Kingdom)
    Congrès des Musiques dans le monde de l'islam. Assilah, 8-13 août 2007. Conference on Music in the world of Islam. Assilah, 8-13 August, 2007. The circulation of "New Music" between Afghanistan and its transnational community by John Baily* (London, United Kingdom) The background I, along with my wife Veronica Doubleday,1 have been engaged with the music of Afghanistan for the last 35 years. The foundation of my knowledge of Afghan music comes from 2 years fieldwork in Herat, and to a much lesser extent Kabul, in the 1970s. My first foray into the Afghan diaspora was in 1985, making the film Amir: An Afghan refugee musician's life in Peshawar, Pakistan. Since then I have conducted further fieldwork on Afghan music in Peshawar, in Mashad, New York, Herat (in 1994, in the interval between the communists and the Taliban) and Fremont (California). Since the defeat of the Taliban I made four visits to Kabul, where I set up a music school for the Aga Khan Music Initiative in Central Asia. The Arts and Humanities Research Council in the UK has a Diasporas, Migration & Identities Programme, which in 2006 gave me funding to carry out research Afghan music in London, and London's connections with Kabul, Hamburg (with a very large Afghan colony), and Dublin (with a very small one). My paper today considers some of the more general questions that arise about the circulation of music between Afghanistan and the Afghan diaspora that my study raises. This is very much a preliminary report on work in progress.

  • Student Reviews for the Documentary Afghan Star -10 HR a Few Years
    Student reviews for the documentary Afghan Star -10 HR A few years after the Americans broke the Taliban rule a producer had a fantastic ideafor a music talent show. They called it the Afghan Megastar. Thousands of Afghans entered and four of them made their fame: two men and two women. Megastar was such a success because the people living in slums, under Taliban repression or in the democratic Kabul needed the connection with their fellow citizens. They did not have enough money, good jobs or friends. They wanted to forget their problems for a few weeks. They wanted to be happy. E.P. I liked this film. I think it was very interesting. It was most interesting to see how people live there. I also love the Hungarian Idol. The Afghans are very different, but warm hearted.. I think the Afghan Megastar made a community there. And it brought the people happiness. O.S. This film is about an Afghan show called the Afghan Megastar. People from different tribes and religions come to win the competition. In the film we follow four people for three months. What really shocked me was that women were not allowed to dance in public. One of the finalists attempted to dance in the show and afterwards everybody was angry with her, men and women alike. It was also interesting that the Talibans threatened to attack the telephone service, because they wanted to make use of the Megastar for themselves. It is unbelievable how big the poverty is in which the people in the film live.
