"International flavor you can savor from world music",
By
This review is from: Afghan Star - OST (Audio CD)
Silva America presents "AFGHAN STAR" (Original Soundtrack) --- Listen with an open mind and heart as this winner of two documentary awards at the Sundance Film Festival --- Each track brings the best performances with some of the tunes that keep you coming back for more ---- Sonically and musically has that international in flavor, who can judge whether this is good are very good --- you be the final say and sample some of the tracks on Amazon.
Afghan Star - Titles & Times (15 Tracks) 1 Chasem Ba Rahat Dil Ba Yadat / Ahmad Zahir 5:07 2 Amelaket Ba Gardan / Jawid Sharif 4:32 3 Police / Wajiha 4:52 4 Zim Zim Zim / Setara Hussainzada 1:36 5 Choon Darakhte Farwardin / Rafi Naabzada 3:14 6 Baaz Aamady al Jaane Man / Ahmad Zahir 8:17 7 Laila / Arash Howaida 4:21 8 Sang Baaraanam Makun / Nazir Khora 4:38 9 I Used to Love You / Wajiha 1:45 10 Meeting / Simon Russell 1:50 11 Yaar Bewafa / Tahir Showquee 4:05 12 Homecoming / Simon Russell 2:39 13 Mata Chal Ne Raze / Naghma 6:08 14 Sabza Ba Naaz Mea Ayad / Hameed Sakhizada 3:15 15 Alah Alah / Arash Howaida 4:39 My favorite track is "SANG BAARAANAM MAKUN", with intriguing tango rhythms that will take you away into a far away place that you have witnessed before. Hats off to Havana Marking (producer and director), Simon Russell (original music score) and Daoud Siddiqi (musical advisor) --- thanks to Roast Beef Productions and Silva Screen Records for introducing other cultures to the world of music.

Afghan Star,
By Annette F. Swiger - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Afghan Star - OST (Audio CD)
Wow! What talent Afghanistan has!! Very melodious music and lyrics. Hearing the songs you wonder why the Taliban prohibited the people from listening to their music. If you are not accustom hearing this type of music which to me has a bit of the bollywood trend then it is not for you, but it you want to widen your knowledge of the world music, this is a must. I give this a five star rating because of the effort and surpression these wonderful people had to put these tracks together. Great entertainment.Afghan Star

The existence of this album is a beautiful thing. Afghan Star brings so much joy and diversity, it provokes thought and liberation. Setara is courageous and outstanding for doing what she did, she's a true example of inspiration and empowerment.
