Kabul Dreams - Good Morning Freedom (Afghanistan)

about

Kabul Dreams, Afghanistan’s first indie rock band since 30 years.
The three young guys coming from three different provinces of the country, three different ethnic groups, speaking three different languages, united in Kabul under the umbrella of music to express themselves not only to their Afghan peers but to the world. One of their main goals is ‘show a different face of Afghanistan to the world’.

Beginning from scratch, Sulyman Qardash, Mujtaba and Siddique composed music and wrote songs in English in order to gain international attention. Using the internet as the only source of promotion they attended several festivals in the region beginning with the South Asian Bands festival in Delhi India in 2009. Representing Afghanistan in the international music arena stands is one of the band’s important ambitions.

Kabul Dreams is an D-I-Y independent rock band in the full sense of the word. They have financed everything by themselves and have not been able to gain any kind of financial assistance from any source or benefit from their music so far. With rock music being something totally new in Afghanistan, they only enjoy the appreciation of a limited Afghan audience inside Afghanistan and have not been able to compete with the Afghan pop and traditional music yet. However their influence is gaining momentum among young Afghans and every gig they play grows bigger and bigger. Their work has become an inspiration for other young Afghans and recently new rock bands have emerged in Afghanistan that play different genres of rock.
