For people in Afghanistan, the events of September 11, 2001, are remembered primarily as the trigger that prompted massive U.S. military action in their homeland. As the Taliban regime persisted in “sheltering” Osama bin Laden that autumn, the United States retaliated by invading the country, establishing a long-term military presence and promoting an uneasy political transition that continues to evolve today. While the hunt for bin Laden and Al Qaeda members was cited as justification for the war, ultimately it was the Afghan people who were caught in the crossfire, and who have accounted for the greatest number of its casualties. The changes wrought by military interventions extend well beyond the tragic statistics of body counts. One of the various unforeseen effects of the U.S.-Allied military campaign in Afghanistan has been a significant alteration of the country’s musical landscape.
