I attended a performance of Afghani folk musicians playing some traditional repertoire plus I believe some original works, various stringed instruments and percussion with a woman singing and playing something like a harmonium. some moments of that performance probably topped anything else in the emotion felt and I believe expressed. They also followed the performance with a talk about the oppression of musicians under the Taliban and their personal journeys to keep their traditions alive (this was maybe 10-15 years ago, when the Taliban were not in power but not particularly long after).
