Today's Afghan music can be roughly divided into traditional, modern and post-modern. Boundaries between these different categories are not clear cut but roughly reflect eras of pre Soviet, intra Soviet and post Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.  The influences of neighboring cultures is reflected upon Afghan Music. Since Music was banned by Taliban, most Afghan music during that period was created in exile.  Afghan artists continued to produce music specially in the United States and Canada.  We urge you to support our Artists by purchasing their CDs and attending their concerts as they reflect a culture that had nearly became extinct due to the international political games. Here we present a directory of Afghan music sites throughout the world. If you have any suggestions regarding adding any sites, please send info to
