This album will be uploaded on Dawood Sarkhosh’s main web page, Sarkhosh Music Inc. web page and will also be available on social media. Dawood considers his experience of making this album a unique and cohesive one. He says “The longer I’ve been away from my homeland, and the farther, the more I’ve grown attached with that land’s folklores and the reason behind this is the richness and exquisiteness of this lofty and magnanimous land.” According to him, special attention has been given to the elements of ‘sincerity’ and ‘simplicity’ in the lyrics and composition of these songs. A cornerstone of this album is collaboration with well known poets of Afghanistan on writing the lyrics, which is an important positive step forward in line of improving music in Afghanistan.
