Good morning folks. Politics are not my cup of tea and I am not
trying to make a statement. However, lately I must admit I am
concerned about the situation in Afghanistan. Since international
forces are pulling out, this once so promising land is doomed to
fall back in oppression again. As a lover of this ancient culture
and collector of Afghan antiques it touches me to see the good
people struggle. In february 2018 I already posted volume 1,
today we find the second volume of ‘Folk Music
of Afghanistan’. Enjoy listening ..

Goeiemorgen muziek vrienden. Politiek is niet iets waar ik me
veel mee bezig houd. De laatste tijd echter maak ik me wel
zorgen over de situatie in Afghanistan. Sinds de internationale
gemeenschap de troepen terug trekt uit dit eens zo veelbelovende
land, dreigt het wederom te vervallen in onderdrukking. Als liefhebber
van de oude cultuur en verzamelaar van Afghaanse antiquiteiten gaat
het me aan het hart de bevolking hiermee te zien stoeien. In februari
2018 postte ik reeds volume 1 van ‘Folk Music of Afghanistan’.
Vandaag vinden we het tweede volume. Luister met plezier ..
