With all due respect to ustaad, A. Wali jan really has given all the old songs a new breath and new life that sounds more pleasant than the original songs. A. Wali jan has thousands of his own songs and does not really need to sing old songs. B/c of his respect for U. Sarhang and other ustaads, he tsings their songs in order to keep their memories alife. Let's appreciate him for that. Thanks.

People camparing the singers are like camparing 2 different flowers. Each has it a different aroma. Please just enjoy all this great masters has offered.

i didnt know afghan music also uses sitar, tabla, and raga stile.

is that a local speciality near indian border?....

because the afghan music of today that ive heard sounds much more like iranian music, or western pop.

is sitar still in use in afghan music today?

how long is this tradition?

enjoying the music,.....

greetings to all afghan friends!!!!

@anawa083 When you say, "I know for a fact how much work AW has put into his music till today" can you back that up as to under which Ustad has he studied and for how long, and where? You again pass judgement blindly about me as you did about AW. What makes you think I do not respect my culture. I have been striving for excellence in all fields of my culture, and respect those who have done the same. Just having God-given good voice, shiny long hair, designer suit and glasses do not cut it.

@sarmalimable I wasn't attacking anyone the one attacking is you. You saying you have learned from all these Ustaads but one thing you still have to learn is manners and respect for other musicians. I know for fact how much work AW has put in into his work till today. Also I don't need to study music to like music which I have from AW and Pandit Shankar Ghosh. Again I know you have no respect for your own culture so please no need for you to respond.

@anawa083 Again it seems you are not stating fact. It is all fiction, or your personal opinion: your favorite singer. Why should Ahmad wali be so stupid to call himself an Ustaad, while he has got people like you. He's got his work cut out for him. He is 70+ years old & is still singing the same songs of his teenage years. He has not grown musically with his chronological aging. If you cannot digest and understand this, then you should consider studying music before you express any opinion.

@anawa083 Not sure if you want to know about my lineage or musical credential, I assume the latter. I have studied Rubab under Ustaad Mohammad Umar, Sitar under Pandit Srinivas, Indian Classical Ragas under late Ustaad Ali Akbar Khan from 1993 up to his death last year. Instead of blurring emotional blunders, and attacking me, you should have been questioning and proving wrong what I had written. You belong to the group of Afghans who blindly go with the flow without actual knowledge.

Thanks for the post great taste.

Amazing to see how little knowledge people have and are making blunt comments. 1st Ustad Sarahang is and was the father of Afghan music and if I can remind you he is a clasical singer. Ahamd Wali who is my favorite singer is a ghazal singer and ghazal is a form of clasic based on Ragas just not as indephed. It's like comparing Jagjit Singh with Fateh Ali or Bhimsen Joshi and that is why Ahmad Wali himself would never take or give him self the titel of Ustat. He is unique & uncomp in his own way.
