You might be wondering about this post, but as he has  tons of followers in Afghan Online Chat Rooms so I thought to write few lines about him.
Its 2021 and allot of our Afghan Chat users are sharing his songs and they are expecting more new songs from him.

After he left Afghanistan in 1990, Darya released his album “Begum Jaan” in 1992. With this, he introduced computer and experimental music to the Afghan music scene. In 1995, Darya’s hit album “Afghanistan” was released and became an acclaimed collection of tracks due to its multilingual nature and representation of different tribal and ethnic Afghan music. This album showcased the possibility of promoting national unity with music.

We are hoping to see more new songs of this legendary singer.
