2014 restock. Following the success of Guerssen's first Ahmad Zahir release, here's a stronger second chapter: a full double LP set. A new, exciting selection from this Afghani legend's proud discography, with his very own sound blending folk with pop and hits of psychedelia, the Afghan way. This second volume features a surprising marriage of Western music with Afghan melodies, and at the center, the crooning voice of a one-of-a-kind artist that happened to shake his country's musical and cultural foundations forever.

A major star in Afghanistan in the '70s until his death in 1979, and a legend today, Ahmad Zahir has something impressive to offer to all Western ears open to exotic rock and pop sounds. Compiled from his vast 1970s discography, here's a selection with some of his best tracks, an astounding set showing his unique, distinct psychedelic sound. Centered around his deep voice, and with the use of electric guitar (including some wah-wah), stunning, reverb-heavy drums, some sitar and tabla, organ, flutes and bass, these are incredible folk-pop tunes from another world. Remastered from the original master tapes and including extensive liner notes.
