Afghanistan: Taxi drivers keep music alive despite bans

As soon as they see a cop, drivers in Afghanistan turn off their radio and sound equipment for fear of being arrested.

Only religious or patriotic songs authorized by the authorities are allowed to be heard in public space. In 2025, four Afghan musicians were sentenced to 15 months in prison by the Taliban for organizing a night touch.
