Crowds laugh, sing and cheer as they wait for the music to start November 19, 2010 in Lashkar Gah, Afghanistan. Thousands of fans flocked to the city of Lashkar Gah for one of the biggest musical events ever known in Afghanistan. The city’s Karzai Stadium played host to a concert by world-famous Afghan musician Farhad Darya, dubbed the ‘Afghan Elvis’, an event that could never have taken place under the regime of the music-hating Taliban.
