AN AFGHAN rapper and rock band who sang anti-Taliban hits go into hiding for their lives – after activists murdered a popular folk singer.
Guitarist Faisal, 26, sang about kissing girls in the back of the mosque and told fans, “Don’t be afraid of the Taliban. “
The hipster musician fled his home after gunmen arrived at his door and beat his brother.
He told the Sun from a safe house, “If they find me, they will kill me. “
Music was banned when the Taliban ruled Afghanistan from 1996 to 2001.
But a new generation of musicians has blossomed over the past two decades.
But last week, a Taliban spokesperson said, “Music is prohibited in Islam.
A few days later, popular folk singer Tawab Andarabi was dragged from his home and fatally shot.
Hessi, a rapper who fled in 2014, said: “I’m scared for my friends and family.
Thousands of people flee Taliban-held Afghanistan on foot through the desert across Pakistan and Iran
