Ariana Delawari: Lion of Panjshir(Movie, 2019)

Ariana Delawari: Lion of Panjshir has not yet been released. We will update this section once we get more information.

The record borrows its title from Ahmad Shah Massoud, the revolutionary leader nicknamed "The Lion of Panjshir". Massoud, a prominent anti-Taliban leader and a lover of art and poetry, was assassinated on Sept. 9, 2001. A theme of identity runs through The Lion of Panjshir, and Delawari's songs move back and forth between Afghan and Western styles of music. Filmmaker and producer David Lynch is a fan of Delawari's. After hearing her play a live show, he signed her to his label and mixed her record himself.
