Roots Revival

In the organizer's words:

The Hazara are one of the largest ethnic groups in the multi-ethnic state of Afghanistan. However, as they are very liberal, they have been discriminated against and persecuted for generations. The singer Elaha Soroor gives them a voice. She took part in the popular casting and reality TV show "Afghan Star" in 2009 after the temporary subjugation of the Taliban. Although she only came 8th, she was one of the show's most talked about and popular stars. After the return of the fundamentalist regime in 2021, she went into exile in London, where she has been upholding her culture ever since - with authentic songs in catchy arrangements that also incorporate instruments from Arabic and Indian music.
