Ensemble Kaboul Concert History

It's no exaggeration to say that the Ensemble Kaboul have literally kept Afghan music alive through many difficult years. Based in Geneva (hence the French spelling of Kabul) and led by Khaled Arman who plays the rebab lute - the Afghan national instrument - they represent the traditional and popular sound of Afghan music. Thanks to its position at the crossroads of Asia, Afghan music is a heady and accessible mixture of Indian, Persian and Central Asian sounds - and in the hands of a group like this, it obviously has an international appeal.
