The Heart of Afghanistan

<p>Doors 6:30 Show 7:30 PM<br />Limited tickets available at the door!</p>
<div><strong>NYC DEBUT! The Heart of Afghanistan&nbsp;</strong>features four brilliant Afghan musicians: famed singer and Afghan TV star&nbsp;<strong>Ahmad Fanoos</strong>&nbsp;on vocals &amp; harmonium, his sons&nbsp;<strong>Elham Fanoos</strong>&nbsp;on piano and&nbsp;<strong>Mehran Fanoos</strong>&nbsp;on violin, and&nbsp;<strong>Hamid Habibzada</strong>&nbsp;on tabla. Unable to perform inside Afghanistan today, where the Taliban has banned all music, the group carries the flame of Afghanistan&rsquo;s rich and complex musical heritage, from its pre-Islamic Buddhist period to the modern era. Included in the program will be traditional&nbsp;<em>ghazals&nbsp;</em>based on the Sufi-inspired poetry of&nbsp;<strong>Rumi</strong>&nbsp;(who was born in Afghanistan), Afghan folk music, and the iconic hits of legendary singer&nbsp;<strong>Ahmad Zahir</strong>, first recorded in the 60s and 70s and still wildly popular today. Only recently reunited in the U.S., the ensemble will give a 360-degree view of Afghan culture through music, poetry, art and cultural heritage. This NYC showcase is made possible through&nbsp;<strong>American Voices&nbsp;<span dir="ltr"><a href="https://americanvoices.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://americanvoices.org/</a></span></strong></div>
