Kabul Dreams

The band consists of Sulyman Qardash (lead singer and guitarist), Siddique Ahmed (bassist) and Jai Dhar (drummer).

[1] Kabul Dreams has paved the way for a modest but growing rock scene in Afghanistan, rebuilding itself after decades of war.

[2] All of the band members were born in Afghanistan, but they were displaced to neighboring countries as refugees during the Taliban reign – Sulyman Qardash in Uzbekistan, Siddique Ahmed in Pakistan, and Mojtaba Habibi Shandiz in Iran.

The album was mixed by Grammy winner Alan Sanderson, who has previously worked with artists including Michael Jackson and The Rolling Stones.

[5] While the band had experience performing in Europe and Asia, they made their North American debut that year at the high profile arts festival, South by Southwest.
