 Amazon.ca: Radio Kaboul: Music: Ustad Mahwash,Ensemble Kaboul   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Prior to the advent of broadcast radio in the 1940s, musicians in Afghanistan held an indeterminate place in their culture: many were cultivated by the rich as a source of entertainment, yet there were still largely associated with questionable social elements (taverns, houses of ill repute, etc.) and seen as marginal figures, near outcasts.
This album was recorded in honor of the musicians of Radio Kabul, who were persecuted under the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan, and banned under the hyper-Islamist Taliban, which suppressed popular song and banned musical instruments altogether.
The ensemble is led by the elder Hossein Arman, one of the original musical composers of the Radio Kabul broadcast station (the others died under deprivation or in exile), and his son, multi-instrumentalist Khaled Arman, who co-founded the Ensemble Kaboul with his father.
