İn any case found playing music in which publically whipped by the ministry regarding vice and prevention of virtue with the Taliban government. If a vehicle was noticed having audio cassettes or perhaps CDs, individuals would be taken to the side and also beaten upwards and their particular tapes and also CDs damaged.
Many Afghani performers left the united states of neighbouring Pakistan and in other places where they could practice their particular songs and also music.

There was no choice but to clear the shelves with CDs and DVDs selling music and movies. Interestingly Jalalabad was considered safe from the Taliban. In some parts of Afghanistan, residents have been warned not to watch the TV.
