The Afghan Music CD/Cassette
Listing and Reviews
- Guldasta-e-Kharabat
A gem as far as Afghan musical and cultural heritage is concerned. A compilation ranging
from Ustad Bereshna, Ustad Shaida, Ustad Qasim, Ustad Rahim Bakhsh, Ustad Yaqub Qasimi,
Ustad Ghulam Hossein to Ustad Mohammad Hossein Sarahang. The names of these giants speak
for themselves.
- Ustad Awal Mir
Ustad Awal Mir's "Da Zemozh Zeba Watan" has become the unofficial national anthem of the
Afghans.It is bound to bring tears in the eyes of every patriot.
- Nashenas
Nashenas delves deep into "Bekhudee" and with his beautiful voice brings Hafez and
Bedal to life. He is brilliant and unique as usual. His music rings TRUE for the current hard
times.
- Haydar Saleem
Truly the best of Haydar Saleem. A compilation of new songs and some of the timeless
selections from the past. Features "Dar Fasal-e-Bahar", "Dukhtar-e-Afghan" and
similar GEMS. Brilliant.
- Nasrat Sharqi
Nasrat, our ailing musician, song writer and instrumentalist is one of those rare gems
that commands instant admiration. A wonderful human being and a professional musician
Nasrat's music has a SOUL and timeless beauty that has captivated any audience
who had the good fortune of listening to his music.
For the past three years Nasrat has been confined to bed due to a stroke. Buying
Nasrat's music is not only buying a unique testimony to the beauty of Afghan music but
also a great help for our brother Nasrat who lies sick and marooned from home in alien corn.
- Wahed Wafa
This is a CD which is truly NEW and FRESH. Wahed Wafa does justice to Tarana Saz's music.
It is extremely well done and is geared for happy occasions expecially a wedding.
Features "Haseena", "Marghola, Marghola" and "Anar, Anar".
- Ahmad Zaher
Ahmad Zaher, the King of Afghan popular music, needs no introduction. This is a
great compilation of the masterpieces of Ahmad Zaher. "Zendagee-Aakher Sarayad,
Bandagee dar kar-o-naist" is prophetic and is sure to send chills down your
spine. God Bless our beloved Ahamd Zaher.
