Is Pashto music losing its charm?

[faye]

faye, lol---these are by the way not real Pashtuns---I mean the true blue pure blooded Pashtuns with a Pashtun tribal pedigree----Yousafzai lords claim these were either the subjugated people or were brought by them from somewhere to serve them---

so the true blue pure blooded pashtuns have no art, craft nor music?

[Pisho]

i still have some cassettes from God knows when...
i will always be a fan of classical pashto songs like Takkar saib and others..
its just every one wants to be modernized now a days... they want to be more western...

[khushal]

opportunistically and selfishly making cheap Pashto films and music to make quick bucks

there is a new variable in the picture: greed

before people made the music becaue they had passion and enjoyed it, today its all about making the quick buck

[faye]

well, they live in an impoverished, war torn country, khushal, so what else could one expect? maybe it is from hunger and the need to survive and feed families, not so much from mere greed.

[khushal]

its global, not just in afghanistan.

music from all over the world is going down hill. you have to search hard to find real art.
