Afghan music at Klartext in October 2025
Review of the concert evening: Soundscapes from Afghanistan
On Saturday, 11 October 2025, the Klartext language school became the venue for a moving musical evening that brought together Afghan, Indian and Persian soundscapes.
The concert was not only a cultural event, but also an expression of remembrance, longing and hope.

Parviz Ayan, a renowned musician from Afghanistan who was forced to leave his country because music was banned there, kicked off the evening.
Using the tabla, a traditional Afghan stringed instrument with a deep, resonant sound, he performed old pieces of music that told of love and longing for home.
His performance was not only musically impressive, but also deeply moving.
The second part of the evening featured Munir Ahmadzai, known as Munir Khan. The singer and musician presented a selection of soulful songs accompanied by the Indian harmonium.
His pieces – some traditional, some his own compositions – dealt with love, longing and the beauty of his homeland Afghanistan.
Particularly impressive was his story about the clear sky there, under which the stars shine in all their splendour – a symbol of the country’s unspoilt nature and poetic soul.
Abdul Samad Habibi accompanied both artists on the ruhbab, lending the performances rhythmic precision and lively dynamism.
His playing combined the musical elements into a harmonious whole and contributed significantly to the intensity of the evening.
During the interval, the audience had the opportunity to sample black tea and traditional pastries from Afghanistan. This led to lively conversations about the history, culture and traditions of the country – a valuable exchange that further enriched the evening.
The concert evening was a resounding success: guests were thrilled and deeply moved by the musical performances. The atmosphere was characterised by openness, curiosity and a feeling of togetherness – an evening that will be remembered for a long time to come.
