Last year, the Afghan singer Awesta was looking for a live band to perform some of his own songs, as well as other pieces from the legendary Afghan singer Ahmad Zahir. Violin player Myrthe vd Wetering formed a band for him, which included me on guitar, Remy Dielemans on bass, Lars Visscher on keys, and Christian Palmieri on drums.
We had some nice sessions, where we re-arranged some of the Ahmad Zahir songs (which were also interpretations of more traditional songs), but still tried to keep the oldskool sound and feeling.
Enjoy our versions of Degar Ashkam Marez and Ba Aseman Begoyed!
