The next episode of the series Soundspuren is all about Afghanistan, the Afghan diaspora and Afghan music. Moderator Taīz Nawab, herself Afghan, born and raised in Hamburg, talks to a guest from the Afghan diaspora, more precisely from San Francisco. The DJ and passionate music collector Omid aka ‘omjvinyls’ mainly collects Afghan vinyl, cassettes and other visual material from Central Asia and publishes it on his social media platforms. An emotional and very personal last episode of Soundspuren in cooperation with ByteFM, in which we are particularly looking forward to the mix of Afghan music exclusively selected by Omid. The series Soundspuren is about everyday life, culture and music from regions where local and international cultural centres, such as the Goethe-Institut, have had to close due to precarious security conditions or censorship. Many artists have therefore lost spaces to live and work there. Artists and cultural workers from Sudan, Afghanistan, Iran, Syria, Belarus and other countries talk about their home countries and what their lives look like in Germany today.

Soundspuren will be broadcast every four weeks on Fridays at 7pm on ByteFM.

The series Soundspuren is organised in collaboration with ByteFM.
