It has been six years since two Berkeley students dreamed up the Afghan Music Project, a project which supports music teachers in Afghanistan who are doing their best to keep the country’s rich musical culture alive amid the still-felt destruction of the Taliban and still unfolding war. Leading up to the anniversary of the U.S. invasion, 10YAC aims to counter that destruction and that war, and celebrate that music with a song from the album, recorded in a secret studio in Kabul and available through iTunes.
Here is Wise Man Tell Me the Truth (Ai Mardi Aaqil Ba Man Raast Bugo), produced in October 2005 by the Afghan Music Project.
