About Attan 

Attan (Pashto) is a form of dance that originated in the Pashtun regions of Afghanistan and Pakistan. Attan began as a folk dance conducted by Afghans in the time of war or during wedding or other celebrations (engagement, new year and informal gatherings). Formerly a Pashtun ethnic dance, it is now considered the national dance of Afghanistan.
The performance of the attan dance in the open air has long been customary in the Afghan culture. Performed in a large circle to the accompaniment of drums and pipes, the dance begins slowly but grows in momentum for two or three hours without a break except for changes in tempo or changes in song. Its duration differs - anywhere from 5 to 25 minutes.

Outfits
Performers often wear traditional, sequined Afghan dress or regional Pakistani dresses in Pakistan (Pashtun, Baloch or Potohari).

In her own words….

Hi all you lovely people who are taking the time to check out my music!! I would like to thank you so much for your kindness, and support. Your sweet comments and messages constantly encourage me to move forward.

It has always been in my blood, but I discovered my love for music only five years ago. I guess I was too busy reading my novels, writing poetry, and painting murals. I didn’t realize I was missing out on what would become a very important, and meaningful part of my life. I would like to thank Habib jan Qaderi for giving me a chance, and helping me realize my dream.

I started taking vocal lessons with Wahid jan Omid after my parents agreed I needed an exra curricular activity during highshcool (another hobbie). You can say my run in with music was a wonderful accident. I really have to thank my parents for that. I continued my vocal lessons for two years, and at the same time enrolled in the British Columbia Conservatory of Music where I studied Opera for another two years. After graduating Secondary School with honors, I finished a program in Broadcast Journalism at the British Columbia Institute of Technology. I’m currently studying Philosophy, and Political Science at the University of B.C.

Farhad Darya Biography  

Award winning Afghan singer and composer Farhad Darya has been the most influential musician on the Afghan Music scene since the mid 80s, and certainly is a founder of a new wave of music in Afghanistan. His influences have echoed throughout several music styles and subsequent generations. Darya is known as the most prominent voice and a revolutionary creative force behind the contemporary music of Afghanistan. He pioneered several different styles of songwriting, and redefined the role of vocalist in the music of Afghanistan while his style of singing has been among the very small number of the most emotional and easily identifiable voices.

Farhad Darya is a pioneer of committed and devoted music in Afghanistan: music committed to new ways of expression and devoted to human causes. From an artistic point of view, Farhad\\\'s music is both domestic (Afghan) and global (international), a blend of native and global sounds.

Darya spent years bridging the gap between urban and rural through his music, and Afghan music became more committed and obligated after his works and creations. He has been an extraordinary hit-maker since the late ‘80s. He has been original and has sounded like no others. His tastes are fairly eclectic, giving his songs a musical variety lacking in other Afghan music stars at that time.
