In the late 60's and '70's a new genre was born in Afganistan and it was the entry of Western influences called Amaturi. Ahmad Zahir was at the front of this genre delivering his Western pop infused tendencies mixed with traditional Afgan musical forms.
Zahir was like the ELVIS or DYLAN or Afgan ! His music was totally undercover and was not recorded with the finest of equipment but regardless resounds with huge emotion and power. There is wah-wah guitar....polyphonic keys....bongos and Tablas ....what else could you ask for eh !!!!
This music is quite adictive and i love this mix of Indian and Afgan vibes with all the native instrumentation all supported by the huge voice of Zahir!
This double vinyl edition covers 12 vintage tracks of pure exotica and psychedlic infused music!
