Afghans Defy Taliban Music Ban by Crafting Rubabs and Keeping Tradition Alive

Credited from: SCMP

  • Artisan Sakhi continues to craft the national instrument rubab, despite facing a Taliban crackdown on music in Afghanistan.
  • UNESCO has recognized the rubab's cultural significance, citing its value as part of Afghanistan's intangible heritage.
  • The Taliban's strict policies include bans on music in public and the destruction of instruments, leading many musicians to abandon their craft.
  • Remaining musicians, like Gull Agha and Mohsen, play to preserve their cultural identity and bring joy, despite risks of punishment.
  • Others in the community remain optimistic that rubab culture can endure and be passed down to future generations.
