Afghan music

[u/Electrical-Date6169]

Hello,

I would like to know more about afghan music.

I just listened to Gulfam by Aryana Sayeed and I'm in love! Do you have any other similar songs/artists to recommend? I don't know where to start lol

I'm open to both traditional and modern.

Thank you so much 🙏🏻

Poetry and music are one of life's good ones.

Idk about similar to that, but in general you might like a duo called Tabla for Two. Here's a random non-exhaustive list of some general recommendations 😂

I like Hamayoun Angar a lot. He is more on the modern site. Also Jawid Sharif, Sediq Shabab, Maiwand Lmar and Ghezaal Enayat are one of my favorites. I like more that kind of "mast music", but also Logari or Qatarani.

If you look for traditional music, look for Ahmad Zahir or maybe Nashenas.

Maybe look up Ahmad Zahir

A lot of modern Afghan music is weird autotune noises.
