Yalda Yazdani leads us to that place called Afghanistan where the women's song stopped being free.
An absurd world, a land that is trampled on every day by abuses, injustices and deprivations.
Today I was "captured" by this video recorded in July 2021 to Kabul by the film troupe led by the ethnomusicologist Yalda Yazdani and the German journalist of Afghan origins Sharmila hashimi.
This video is the latest documentation that portrays a free female song before the coming of the Taliban.
While risking the crew, he wanted to fully document the reality of a people oppressed and suffocated by injustice and the impossibility of expressing themselves even with a song.
Now after a year, the women singers portrayed in the documentary live away from their country and their origins, looking for that hope in which they can embrace their mother earth.
Touching personal stories that continue to be narrated at the hands of Yalda Yazdani to understand how to raise awareness more and more public opinion in the face of this massacre.
Thanks to this documentary I discovered a world of nine singers of different biographical and musical extraction. I enter their names below:
Mashal Arman, Rouya Dost, Gulhan, Freshta Farokhi, Sumaia Karimi, Sadiqa Madadgar, Naria Nour, Wajiha Rastagar and Ghawgha Taban.
We meditate thanks to singing to find out more free, and we learn to love this tool because it is not only that playful and carefree form that makes us happy, but it is a social awareness power that allows man to understand how important the freedom of ours is is vocal sound.
