Haroon Bacha: The singer the Taliban tried to silence
Haroon Bacha is one of Pakistan's most celebrated Pashto singers. Because of his music's messages of tolerance and pluralism, he became a prime target of the Taliban's deadly campaign against music. In 2008, he was forced to flee the country, leaving behind his family, and seek asylum in New York City. Determined to continue making music, Haroon has recorded a new album and begun working with Radio Liberty in Washington, D.C., where he hosts cultural and musical programs with the Pashto service.
This will be Haroon's first concert for the general public in New York, and he will be accompanied by master musicians Mohammad Essa on the tabla and Pervez Sakhi playing the rabab.
Come hear these marvelous artists and support freedom of musical expression.
All ages welcome
