A Performance by Haroon Bacha: The Singer the Taliban Tried to Silence

Haroon Bacha is one of Pakistan's most celebrated Pashtun singers. Because of his music's messages of tolerance and pluralism, he became a prime target of the Taliban's deadly campaign against music. In 2008, he was forced to flee the country, leaving behind his family, and seek asylum in New York City. Determined to continue making music, Haroon has recorded a new album and begun working with Radio Liberty in Washington, D.C., where he hosts cultural and musical programs with the Pashto service.

لر او بر یو افغان... خدای دې زمونږ پښتانه بیا سره یو ځای کړی ترڅو بیا هغه د میړنو تاریخ را ژوندی او پښتون خور او مور په عزت او پت خوندی شی .

وریځي لیمه سترګی باڼه پښتانه

څنګه یو ځای شول پښتانه پښتانه

قربانی د سترګو دوه خویونو شمه

کله خواږه کله تراخه پښتانه
