Will the Taliban Allow Music?
The Taliban already have begun imposing harsh restrictions on Afghans not seen since 2001. One Taliban spokesperson told the New York Times that they still consider music forbidden in Islam. Dr. Ahmad Sarmast, founder of the Afghanistan National Institute of Music and his former student, Zarifa Adiba, who has conducted the school’s trailblazing all-female Zohra Orchestra join the show to discuss.
