After 30 years of war and violence in Afghanistan, the Tolo Television launched the first and most popular music talent show "Afghan Star" in 2005, searching for the most talented singers across Afghanistan.
Agus Pratama, the Indonesian national auditioned for Season 10 of the program, enthusiastically sings Afghan songs both in Dari and Pashto national languages of Afghanistan.
He believes that his dream to visit Afghanistan and participate in the Afghan Star has now come true.
The 24-year-old participant told TOLOnews that after he returns to his country, he will introduce the Afghan music and culture to his countrymen.
He added Afghanistan is a loving country having different and rich cultures and music.
"Before to come to Afghanistan, I knew this country only through internet but now I found many positive things here," Pratama said.
Broadcasted two days a week, the Afghan Star has now become a must-watch TV show for the Afghans both inside and outside the country.
The program begins every year with auditions in all major cities of the country where the judges select the best auditionees and put them through to the public voting round of the contest.
