[ Information about the singer]
By exploring the ways we remember Ahmad Zahir-from the
endless repackaging of his music to the more serious reappraisals of his
significance in contemporary culture-we come to see this modern icon, as
well as ourselves, in a new and different light. Although I was only four
years old when Ahmad Zahir left this world, his music and legacy has
reinforced and kept in touch with my Afghan heritage. In Ahmad Zahir's
words, "awaleen eshqam" (my first love) was his beautiful songs; in
particular "Leyli Leyli Jon" was my foremost attraction to Afghan music.
