Farhad Darya

Farhad Darya is among the most widely known Afghan musicians of the past forty years — a singer, composer and producer whose work moved Afghan popular music away from strict tradition without abandoning it. He was born in Kabul in 1962 to a family originally from Kunduz, and formed his first group while studying at Kabul University. His album Afghanistan (1995), carrying the hit "Golom Golom", established him internationally, followed by Shakar (1997). He left Afghanistan during Taliban rule and settled in Virginia, returning in 2003 to perform at Kabul's Ghazi Stadium — a venue the Taliban had used for public executions — before an overflow crowd. Alongside music he has worked extensively in public life. He serves as a UNDP National Goodwill Ambassador for Afghanistan, founded Music Village, a Kabul non-profit set up to preserve Afghan musical heritage, and established the charity Kocha, which supports orphans and children living on the street. In 2010 he received the International Music for Peace Award.
