Lost Ahmad Zahir Track

Going through my CD pile, I found an Ahmad Zahir CD released by Ariana Music in the late 1990s titled "Memories".

The recording quality is clear and the tracks are from Radio Afghanistan recordings and a few from Ariana Music. The last track is one I cherish the most because it a song that Ahmad Zahir was working on, but I am not sure if he finished recording it. The translated title is "Your Look".

It is also fascinating to hear how Ahmad Zahir works with his studio band members giving direction and staying focused and in control.

At first Ahmad Zahir asks his sound engineer, "Wali Jaan", assuming it is Wali Eshpari, to turn up the guitar volume.

And it also sounds like Zia Kabir Siraj is on the acoustic guitar with most likely Abdullah Etemadi on drums or it could be Chatram Sani?

Nevertheless, this track is a lost gem that could have been another great hit for the late Ahmad Zahir. Enjoy!
