With their new album Songs Of Our Mothers due for release this Friday, 27th September, via Bella Union, Kefaya + Elaha Soroor have shared a new track “Gole Be Khar”. Of the track the band say: “Gole Be Khar is a folk song in the Herati dialect of north-western Afghanistan. Generally in Afghan society women are forbidden to openly express love and desire for a man as this is considered shameless by some parts of the society. In this song the woman is expressing her secret feeling and desire for her lover.”
