Since the mid-20th<\/sup> century, a new type of music appeared in radio format known as kiliw\u0101li<\/i>. This term, of Pashtun origin, can be translated as \u2018from the village\u2019. So the music kiliw\u0101li<\/em> would mean \u2018village music\u2019.<\/p>

Ahmad Naser Sarmast and Abdul Wahad Madadi explain that this term is the equivalent of mahalli,<\/em> of Arabic origin is used by the other populations of Afghanistan. The two terms mean the same thing, and are used by all Afghan populations without distinction. However, Ahmad Sarmast explains that the use of kiliw\u0101li<\/em> corresponds to the political will, at the time, to make Pashtun the country's official language. The widespread use of the term kiliw\u0101li<\/i> also corresponds to the appearance, in the first half of the 20th<\/sup> century, a new musical genre, made up of elements of \u2018village\u2019 music. It is a hybrid music made up of structural elements from different repertoires mahalli<\/i> Baluchi, Haz\u0101ra, Herati, Uzbek, Tajik and Turkmen. As this is a composite music and to distinguish it from the Pashtun genre proper, I have chosen to refer to it as \u2018modern kiliw\u0101li\u2019. The use of the term kiliw\u0101li<\/i> in this new sense was probably the work of Radio Afghanistan. The initiative for a national radio station was launched in 1928.<\/p>

To achieve the objective of \u2018a national music\u2019, the Afghan leaders found in the combination of regional musical elements the means to bring together the entire Afghan population. The radio musicians collected tarz<\/i>-s, or traditional songs, in the different regions of the country. They arranged the new music before recording it and broadcasting it over the airwaves.<\/p>

In 1957, Ust\u0101d<\/em>, title given to a master, Mohammad Omar arranges music mahalli<\/i> for his eponymous ensemble: \u2018Orchestre Radio Afghanistan Orchestra\u2019.<\/i>Like Radio Afghanistan's first orchestra, the ensemble ofUst\u0101d<\/em> Mohammad Omar brought together several instruments, but differed in that they were all national: 3 rub\u0101b, 2 tanbur <\/i>(long-necked lute), 1 dut\u0101r <\/i>(long-necked lute), 2 Afghan sarind\u0101 <\/i>(a viol), 1 dohl<\/i> (double diaphragm drum) and 1 zirbaghali <\/i>(single membrane drum). <\/a><\/p>

Ust\u0101d<\/em> Mohammad Omar has distinguished himself by the way he plays the Afghan rub\u0101b, particularly in the classical style. The classical style encompasses two types of music: the naghma-ye klasik<\/em> and the lariya <\/em>(or naghma-ye kash\u0101l<\/em>). The term naghma<\/em> can be translated as \u2018instrumental music\u2019.<\/p>

The Kiliw\u0101li<\/i> \u2018modern\u2019 musics and the naghma-ye klasik<\/em> and the lariya<\/em> musics form the Kabuli<\/em>genus, which translates as Kabul music or Kabul genre.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
