Kabul Dreams
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you Afghanistan’s FIRST indie rock band, Kabul Dreams.
Less than a decade ago, when the Taliban ruled Afghanistan, a concert like this would have landed them in jail. Playing musical instruments was banned. Singing was allowed, but only songs praising Allah or the Taliban.
Today, Kabul Dreams, as the band is named, is paving the way for a very modest but growing local rock scene.
About 100 Afghans and foreigners gather around a makeshift stage with improvised lighting and a sputtering sound system.
