Pukhto music is crossing through another stage of development where non-Pukhto singers are pouring into Pukhto language singing.There are examples of the Pukhto singers singing other language songs like most of the Pukhto singers in Pakistan and Afghanistan could be seen singing Urdu and Persian songs.But this is the first time that such non-Pukhto singers have started the Pukhto singing with increase popularity.Its therefore we can say that Pashto singing is becoming more international then local.
One can hear the song of Rahim Shah and Fareeha Parveez as well as that of Irfan Khan and Hadiqa Kiyani singing songs in couples.The public transport private vehicles and many more public occasions are now tuned in with such joint ventures of the Pukhto and non-Pukhto singers.Beside this one can give examples of many more individual non-pashto singers singing Pukhto songs and releasing albums. Moreover some Persian singers on the Afghan side of the border have too started singing Pukhto songs which could be seen in Facebook uploading and sharing.
This new trend have not only being welcomed but have been really appreciated by the listeners and communities.With respect to such change and inclination an international media organization iMedia Associates on aired a radio report in different stations focusing what kind of chang it could bring.Here is an abstract of an expert interview from that broadcast.
