Event has already taken place. Unforgettable concerts targeting female voices from the Middle East in the Riksteatern concept, in collaboration with the World in the Concert Hall.
Ustad Farida Mahwash’s phenomenal career has lasted during two wars and a forced isolation from her homeland Afghanistan. In 1991, she and her family received political asylum in the United States.
Ten years later, Mahwash reunited with other Afghan exile musicians and founded The Kabul Ensemble. The group appeared at several of Europe’s most prestigious stages and in 2003 they released the acclaimed album Radio Kaboul. The rich collection of songs acclaims composers and musicians who are lost or in exile from the golden era of Afghanistan’s radio.
That same year, Ustad Mahwash was also awarded the prestigious BBC Radio 3 World Music Award. She has since released the celebrated album Ghazal Afghans.
