  • 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.

  • VEIL of TEARS Afghans’ Stories of Loss in Childbirth
    VEIL OF TEARS Afghans’ stories of loss in childbirth “Veil of Tears” is a collection of transcribed audio testimonies from women, men and children, interviewed by members of the IRIN Radio production team in 2005-2009. Their stories share the pain of the loss of a child, a wife, or a mother, in childbirth. Few families in Afghanistan have not been touched by this kind of experience. The stories transcribed in this booklet were first broadcast as part of IRIN Radio’s Dari and Pashto programming in Afghanistan. Copyright © IRIN 2009. All rights reserved.

  • 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.

Asi always exalts his country, and his writing about the country is with a good image. In addition, sometimes his works are sorrowful, sometimes he writes the wronged people that how they crushing, according to these viewpoints his poems have given the epic style. We see words like country, homeland, territory and city which shows how much he loves his homeland. With writing those poems he tried to survive the hope of his compatriots in the living of war situations. Key Words: homeland, Patriotism, Aasi and contemporary literature. 1. INTRODUCTION: History shows that the literature is the media to manifest their feeling and desire, poems are the pest media for a poet to write about his opinion. The cultural and social occurrence caused a poet to write about different subjects in different poetry templates. Patriots are a part of national identity, whereas, a country is in the attack of a country, this feeling becomes more.

  • Identity, Modernity, and Continuity in Afghan Star Timothy Olson Liberty University Department of Multi-Ethnic Music Studies
    “ONLY THE NAME IS NEW:” IDENTITY, MODERNITY, AND CONTINUITY IN AFGHAN STAR A MASTER'S THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE FACULTY LIBERTY UNIVERSITY BY TIMOTHY OLSON IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN ETHNOMUSICOLOGY May 15, 2017 Copyright © 2017 by Timothy Olson In the name of God, the merciful and compassionate, creator of sound, silence, beauty, and culture. Acknowledgements First and foremost, I would like to thank my incredibly patient and kind wife, Rowena, for her support from the very beginning of this project. Not only did she sit with me through hundreds of hours of Afghan Star, but she served as a sounding board for ideas, contributed her own thoughts, read through my first draft, and gave me space to spend long hours in front of the computer. No one could ask for a better partner. I am grateful to my language teachers and colleagues at the International Assistance Mission for teaching me Dari and Afghan culture. Without them, this work would have been impossible. I am also thankful to those who assisted me with data collection and analysis, especially my mother Ruth, and sister Karen. My mother also read an early draft and provided valuable insights. From the outset of this project, I have been extremely grateful for the groundwork laid by other researchers, particularly Dr. John Baily and Dr. Lorraine Sakata, both of whom I have cited extensively throughout this paper. Not only have I benefited from their scholarship, but both have promptly answered my e-mails over the last few years and willingly met with me in person when the opportunity arose.
