i am friends with shahla zaland the great ustad's daughter on her facebook and she told me that at 5:20 am april 2009 that jenab ustad zaland passed away. She also told me that he wuz sick 4 the past 3 years and he also had kidney failure and alzheimers at the end of his life. Jannat e firdaus naseebe ustad zaland basha
Ustad Zaland you deserve much respect as you paved the way for many singers such as Nashenas they all came to the afghan music world through your great music. Jenab Ustad Zaland you are the true pride of afghan music. You shall be missed and your memory will forever be treasured in the hearts and minds of you fellow Afghans
As I sit and shed tears with his departure from this world, I wish you doors of heaven as you have served your country and your people with the highest regard. Ustad, we apologize for not recognizing your contributions, your personality, your love for your art and people, but you have to understand, we are afghans. We do not know better and never will. Rest in peace and god will always bless you. Thank you again for who you were and the inspiration you will represent to all of us. Good bye.
I dont think mr. zaland gets the respect he deserves for tutoring the greats like a. wali, zahir howida, nashenas, a. zahir and so on. Every musician that has seen success has emulated Zaland through his career. Today, he is resting ill in his bed yet there is no one that can at least talk about his legacy and his profound impact in music. Taranasaaz passed away without any recognition and now zaland will be forgotten. You will never hear this type of voice and songs ever in afg ever.
You are absolutely right. Zaland deserves much more respect. I am not sure about tutoring the great singers you named, however, as a mentor he played a major role. Any way he has a gifted voice and is singing very well with unforgettable compositions to his credit.
Maiforosh jan, I completely agree with you. U. Zaland deserves our outmost respect. Unfortunately we are very ignorant. The singers/ compositors are not acknowledged when they are alive. Even among the ones who are not with us just U. Sarahang and A. Z. are repeatedly mentioned. I know they were great, but we also had U. Rahim Bakhsh, U. Saraban, U. Breshna & great comp.(U. Nainawaz & U. Taranasaz). In my opinion,each one of these artists deserves same amt of recognition as the other 2 have.
Well, Ustad sarahang's music was from another planet. As far as A. zahir, he was unique but copied way too many songs, and if it wasnt for taransaaz, nainawaaz, and other composers, he would not have had so many great hits. But Zaland introduced a Style of singing that was very modern and unique. His versatility of light songs, ghazals, and melodies have been the style that was copied by others great singers.
I think , we are in the same boat or understanding with little difference.
I love both of them and they are great singers ,but we should not compare them and we should not say this singer is better than such and such as long as we can do that we should be all good to go thanks
Assady Jaan, give some credit to Mohammad Zahir Shah for his taste foe quality music. He used to invite Ustad Sarahang, Mehdi Hassan, Ahmad Wali and Zaland. It was after one of such private performance that he presented Ahmad Wali with a very quality sony HiFi System enabling him to record his songs.
Reminds me of old time, our beautiful country, and our peaceful times. They sound very much alike, but A. Wali jan's voice became distinct really really fast.
U. Zaland and A. Wali jan, what a great combination! Superb song. I've met U. Zaland a few times few years ago and have listened to him talking so highly of A. Wali jan that quite amazing.
Very beautiful no doubt. You can see the similarities in their voices. Has this song been recorded in radio by U.Zaland or A. Wali? Also, in this album, there is a song " dilam az feraq o khoon shod"...is that mehdi hassan's composition or U.Zaland's?
Precious and awesome. Lucky Zahir Shah and his family. I've heard that A. Wali jan is somehow related to the royal family from his father side, but I don't know for sure. All I can say is that A. Wali jan has proved himself as one best artist since very young age and requires our utmost respect. Same goes for U. Zaland. Thanks for uploading.
Wow, wow, wow! what a great song. It is hard to believe that this is a life performance. I know U. Zaland was a well-known legend at that time, but I am quite impressed by A. Wali jan. He sounds so confident with best voice and sur, lai and taal. He is really a legend from day 1. Longlive both of our legends and thank you so much for sharing this priceless clip.
Thank you so much for uploading such a jewel. I cannot believe this. This song shows A. Wali jan's power of voice! At that young age he already sings like a ustaad?
Fantastic what an historic recording. Beautiful voices and presentation. The accompanied music is very nice and the quality of the recording is also good given it was recorded live and not in a studio. Thanks for uploading.
Beautiful! Two ghazal's pearls singing together, What an ancient piece. Rich voices and lovely poetry. My appreciation to you for sharing the ghazal. A. Qaamat
i like ahmad wail jan and zaland

A Wali is not related to the Royal family apart of being a Mohammad Zai by ethnicity.
