Twenty
years after his death his voice is still dear and close to us.
Out of the hundreds of songs which Ahmad Zahir sang in his short
life, we picked seven.
We feel each one of these songs
symbolize a period in his career. They begin in high school to
college years to his early studio years till the end. We have
also included concerts and studio recordings and private home
recordings among friends and family.
The last song Zendagi (Life)
was recorded at a private house party. In this song you get a
taste of the atmosphere he created from the laughter which can
be heard in the background.
What truth his lyrics ring when he
says: "life comes to an end, imprisonment is not needed;
if imprisonment be the condition, life is not needed..."
