This was deeply moving. These young people are amazing and so brave. I cannot believe the sadness and grief that so many of them are dealing with from leaving their families behind to the anxiety of living in a new country. They are keeping their culture's beautiful music alive and sharing it with the world. I wish these young people so much luck and peace. I truly hope that they will get to see their families and friends again and share the beauty of their music with them.
Ustad Sarmast is the most humble, decent yet one of the key voices of resistance. And this voice is no ordinary voice of resistance; it's the voice of music which is banned, silenced and taken away by the Taliban in Afghanistan. This moment, this living moment of music in Afghanistan is dark, depressing, hopeless and silent yet Dr. Sarmast is not losing his fight for music. He is still nourishing Afghan young artists and re-establishing ANIM (Afghanistan National Institute of Music) in Portugal. This is his timeless, memorable and larger than life contribution not only for Afghans but humanity at best. We must appreciate and thank Portugal for their intact and timely response and support in accepting ANIM students and now their families. However, we must thank the unbound love and courageous spirit and actions of Ustad Sarmast for creating, nourishing and protecting ANIM. Thank you Dr. Sarmast! Meena aw Manana to you from Quetta ❤
The resilience of the Afghan Youth Orchestra is truly inspiring. Despite the challenges they faced, their music continues to soar in a new home. Portugal's generosity shines as a beacon of hope for these talented musicians. Thank you for sharing their remarkable journey.
hats off to my little brothers and sisters, I know the world was never treating us as Hazaras fairly, for no specific reason, but we always found our way and passion, love you all and hope I can attend your tour.
If a different nation offered those people everything, you cannot keep saying that the entire world treated you badly. Nobody even knows what hazar means
I wonder why would the Government in Afghanistan are banning music; for music isn’t banned in Islamic religion. Music has the power to feel joyful and emotions to show the message to everyone who loves listening or playing music.
I am so glad they found sanctuary to be safe and perform their art. It is so devastating the evil and destruction in the world by terrorists and the fact that the oligarchs who own our governments profit heavily from arming them
Another wonderful documentary shared by a respectful ( DW) documentary channel..documentary about Afghan Muscians refugees in the free world ..they are from Hazzara ethnic peoples... a document revealed Taliban authority practicing religious atrocious besides atrocious against certain Hazzar ethnic peoples in Afghanistan 🇦🇫...
Are you sure? The Hazara aren't adequately represented in the government, but I haven't seen any reports from mainstream media of persecution of the them by the Taliban since they took power.
No offense intended, but you could say the same thing about pizza or having a cat. What's your point - that there's no universal solution for the hardships of existence? Most of us know that. 😏
NEVER FORGET: Afghanistan was a successful socialist state, but then americans started to fund, arm, and train extremists, creating the taliban. This little girl, is a victim of americanatzi regime of terror
@@myahsoodinim8570He is right, Afganistan during 1950-80 period was quite a progressive, democratic nation with hard line Islamist parties in opposition striving for shriyat law.. Neibour Islamist Pakistan was always an instrument of US/NATO. During the late 1970's Kabul govt had felt hest and sought the help of Neibour power USSR to face Islamic groups and as we all know President Reagan invited radical Afghan leader to white House, engaged Saudi clerics, money and Pakistani soil to preach fanatic Islam trained, armed groups to fight Jihad..... Rest is history.
@@rdsc.455 That is a shameless rewrite of history you are attempting. The Afghan Communists took power in a bloody coup in which they assassinated the Afghan President and rounded up everyone they thought might oppose them. The people rose against them without any urging from the West. We gave them very little help at first, but they were successful enough against the Communist regime that the Soviets invaded to put in their own choice as leader and defend the regime. Almost every non communist country on earth condemned the invasion. The Russians killed and tortured with abandon.
Theyre completely from aghanistan and yet its "painful for them that their friends and family are in Afghanistan"? What are we supposed to do? Take every single one of them into our countries and give them free food, rent and cars and spendjng money too? They are messing up so bad by taking the smart, strong, best people out of those countries. They were the ones who might have helped change that country in a better place
I understand your argument and this sadly happens in many countries. It's just that people are reduced to the survival mode and leaving becomes the only option to remain alive!

well, yeah, it is true! we can't generalize.@@Speedster189
Good luck to these young people.

Cause the Taliban hates happiness and joy 💔
So we know what we should forbid instead....@@InfoSecwithabd
Music is banned in islam
Because the music can also insight inspiration against the regime.
It is... music is satan..the same in Iran
Good Luck to all those Brave Talented children ! and people who Helped them !👍
Thanks for portugal for having these incredible young people
I am so glad they found sanctuary to be safe and perform their art. It is so devastating the evil and destruction in the world by terrorists and the fact that the oligarchs who own our governments profit heavily from arming them
Deeply touching and inspiring.❤
Thank you making this video, I did some filming in Afghanistan just before the Taliban took over. May Afghanistan find freedom again.
This is heartbreaking.
Loved it
where can I watch the concert??
These Talented Afghan Kids are worth 10000 Unskilled Afghans that have invaded Europe.
They are worth keeping into our Society.
good luck to my Hazara brothers and sisters. be strong and stay true to your roots 🇲🇳
Good news! 👏👏👏

@@myahsoodinim8570 I haven't heard of anything since they took power in 2021, put in previous Taliban rule there were reports
Music is for everyone to enjoy and play👐🏾. Not closed off from the world. 😠
Sometimes music cant ease your pain

The Soviets killed over a million Afghans while it was a socialist state.
