Pop music was made popular in Afghanistan by the radio especially Radio Kabul and Radio Afghanistan in the 40’s and 50’s. The 70’s were considered as the golden years of Afghanistan music. The pop music included traditional Afghani music with Indian traits and use of European instruments like guitar, drums etc. it also included filmy music from India and Pakistan, Iraqi music and music from Tajikistan.

The 50’s saw the roots of pop music being laid in Afghanistan through the radio. Most of the singers who performed on the radio were non traditional singers also known as amateur singers. These singers moved the wheels in favor of the growth of afghani pop music which flourished not only in Afghanistan but also the neighboring Pakistan what with an estimated 3 to 4 million Afghanis staying there. The popular amateur singers are Ahmad Zahir, who was the most famous of them all; Sarban, Salma Jabani, Haidar Salim, Naghma and Mangal, Hangama, Parasto etc. the earlier famous female afghani pop singers were Parwin and Farida Mahwash.

Since 2001 post Taliban, afghani music is getting a new life and Afghani pop artists like Kaboul Ensemble are getting recognized out side Afghanistan as well.

4. Imshab by Haidar Salim
