Description
Better known for conflict than music, this Rough Guide takes you way beyond the crossfire to explore the musical treasure house that is Afghanistan - revealing regional folk traditions, beautiful classical compositions and a rising popular music scene.
'The Rough Guide to the Music of Afghanistan' is the first musical collection to bring the popular, classical and folk traditions of Afghanistan together on one disk. It's an album which uncovers the beautiful music of Afghanistan, a unique coming together of the musical influences of the Persian Empire, India and Central Asia, now no-longer banned under the restrictions of the Taliban. Experience the beauty and unifying force of music, from a country hoping for a brighter future.
Comes accompanied by a FREE bonus CD by Ahmad Sham Sufi Qawwali Group. The Ahmad Sham Sufi Qawwali Group has been performing for more than thirty years and is one of the most highly regarded qawwali groups in Afghanistan. Featuring an array of instruments rarely heard outside their homeland, the Ahmad Sham Qawwali Sufi group are part of a vibrant musical tradition that stretches back more than 700 years. Banned from performing under the Taliban reign, these musicians now publicly reunite to present the healing and spiritual power of qawwali music to Afghanistan and the world.
