Subj: Farhad-Jaan Darya
Date: 12/3/2002
From: Huma Bargzie

Salaamuna Grano Dostano-
I wanted to express my sincere appreciation regarding an evening of fine Afghan music by an outstanding and loved artist of Afghanistan, Farhad-Jaan Darya had the pleasure of attending this cultural event on October 26, 2002 at Flamingo Palace in Fremont, California.
I feel that his style is quite unique in comparison to other Afghan Artists. An example that illustrates his unique style was his grand entrance into the hall. The lights were dimmed and he walked in with lights on him and he had the biggest and warmest smile on his face, singing "Dunya Guzaran". It was a delightful way to make his way to the stage. The whole evening, we heard beautiful tunes both traditional and modern and the best part was that the smile remained on his face the whole time. I truly appreciate an artist who cares about his audience. Another point worthy of mentioning is that all Afghans enjoyed his music as he made an effort to sing in both Pashto and Dari.
I also had the pleasure of meeting him backstage and congratulating him on an excellent performance. He was the most humble and respectful Afghan artist that I have ever met. He also made a promise that he will visit the Bay Area at least once a year-and we hold him to that.
Kind Regards,

Huma Bargzie

Subj: New CD
Date: 11/28/2002
From: M. A.

Dear Farhad Jan,
2002 is almost over and your CD promised to be released in 2001 is still
not out. I am dying to hear something new and wonderful, when this new CD
will be released? Please don't make us give up on you. I will never
do so, but I am angry. The only way I get to hear you is through your
published music CDs. I, and many more like me, can't make it to LA or SF or
other locations to see you in concert. So please, don't forget your fans.
Sincerely.

Farhad Aziz Salam
. . . How can I express my feelings to you while I found your web site?
It was really a good time. I was crossing Pul -e- Baghe Omomi.
Near Ketab Froshi, I came across to a magazine with the name of "Jawane Maihan"
and your photo was on its cover. I bought it and when I saw your web site there, it
was incredible for me. Soon I wrote a message to you. I don't know if
you have received that or not?
I was the one who contacted you from Kandahar. Do you remember me?
Hope to have more news from you.
Kiss Hejran for me.

Bye

Subj: Awesome Concert On Nov 1 in Vancouver, B.C- Canada
Date: 11/14/2002
From: Vancouver

Salaam Farhad Jan.
First of all I would like to thank you and your band for your awesome concert. It was really delightful and really enjoyable. I attended your concert and took a picture with you. After 3 years, my dream came true in Vancouver, and my dream was to listen the Song from your own Beautiful voice "Khodam en so delam on soye Darya". All of your songs are the best, but this is just for I LOVE THIS SONG. And also congregations for being "The Leading Singer Of Afghanistan".
Thanks for your great performance in Vancouver.

Your Sincerely,
M. A.

When you get 50, then I will call you (mohtaram Farhad
sahib:) Joking aside
Yak jahaan mamnoon. Got your nice mail. I know you are
wonderful!!!
I am sure u did well last Friday no doubt and u don't
have to worry. You have proved your success and how
much fun people have had at all your shows. You don't
have to worry. If u don't like something about your
performance yourself, still we are human beings not a
big deal.
You said I should cross my fingers and pray for you. I
always do, but as God is with you and all of us, we
need nothing else. Am I right?

Khub bach e film! I am still waiting to get your new
album. If it comes out in Dec. fine, otherwise
doshmanet malamat:) and I can wait another week, month
year:( if I live!!!!)
I already sent one request in my previous email (more
pictures on the net). The second one: Do u know we
would like to have your posters? There is none except the
one which announces ur tour. Poor me
enlarged your CD picture:)
Someone gave me a picture of you as a gift long time
ago and said," This was taken when we had a trip in
Turkey in 80s."
I am sure u remember it. You are wearing a strip white
and pink shirt and I still have it, but is very small.
Talking about these things may be time consuming for
you, but I want to share it.
Ok wish you best of the best and wait to get more
mails if your precious time permits.
Lots of regards,
A.

Subj: What A Concert?
Date: 11/04/2002
From: Vancouver

What can I say about your concert in Vancouver?
Oh, It was really good and fantastic however the time passed so quickly and we all were (GHORA BA DIL) at he end.
We all are really proud of you since you are such an excellent singer and composer.
Wow, your new song (????????? ????). Wherever I go, this song comes in my ears.
However I wanted to come at the end and talk to you and take some pictures with you or have your signature in my dairy as everyone wishes, but seeing the situation and some reasons that you know better than me didn't let me to do so.
Anyway, Thanks for doing such a good performance and wish you a long and happy life.

Subj: Fremont Concert
Date: 10/31/2002
From: [email protected]


Dear Farhad Jaan Darya:
A very quick note to convey my warmest regards and sincere hellos to you. I attended your recent concert in Bay Area (Fremont), and I must say that I was very proud!!! Because of the repeat and "copycat" singers that steal the image of Ahmad Zahir and other Afghan and Persian singers, I had stopped going to concerts until now. I must say the ensemble of the foreign musicians was a classy addition to the group, which made it more enjoyable.

I have heard good stories of you from my uncle who was a dear friend of beloved Qahar Shaheed. I have spent most of life in the US and was raised here, but my passion for my motherland and its roots is too strong to even express in words.

I wish you health, success, and happiness along with the rest of your family.

R e g a r d s,
W a h i d

Salam Farhad jan Darya!
I am one of your greatest fans not just here in America, but in our homeland Afghanistan, Kabul. I was just 15 years old when I became your die hearted fan, and yet that I am 27 years old, no singer has ever been so close to my heart and my soul as you are.
You are not just a singer but also a great personality with a great character.
In my family everybody is your die heart fan.
The type of poems that you select for your songs represents that you have a wonderful taste.
I know all of your songs by heart and I love your taste of poetry selections.
I love poems of late Qahar Asi who was not just a poet, but a wonderful and great friend of yours. Yadash zinda baadaa..
You know Farhad Jan what makes you a unique artist? Because you sing from your heart and your soul, you live for music, and plus, you are a person with heart. In other word, you are (Sahib Del) that is what makes you precious and unique from all other singers and that is why I love your music. I was in your Oct 26 concert in Flamingo Palace that was one of the happiest nights in my life; I got your autograph too. But I never got a chance to thank you for your enjoyable and brilliant concert. I always wanted to meet you in person and tell you how a die heart fan of yours I was, but I never saw you so close as I did on your concert except in one or two occasions in Kabul. One time you and Asi were passing by our Block in Macroyan, Kabul and the other time you were attending an engagement party of one of our neighbors and I got a chance to say Hello to you, and you sayed Hello in return and smiled at me. I got so happy that I would never forget that moment. Farhad Jan, I am Personally in love with your classical music (ghazal) and I think you rock in singing ghazal. Please sing a few ghazals in your next CD. Farhad Jan, I do not want to take your time or put pressure on you that you should respond to my Email, but if you want to just respond to me as a fan you can. thanks a lot for your time.

I just want to tell you that you did an excellent work in your concert in Fremont California. Everyone loved it. It was very different from any other singer and it was a real concert. We all tired of "one keyboard' concerts. What you did will make all other singers to step up and contribute to afghan music and spend some time and money to bring our music to the next level. You are a legendary singer and we all proud of you.
Thank you

Subj: Hello

From: M.

Dear Mr. Farhad,
I am a 22 yr. old female Afghan. I am a senior in college. I listen to your music all the time. Your a magnificent singer and songwriter.
My question is I would like to pursue a singing career. I have extensive vocal and theatre training. However, I feel it would be the best for me to start with my roots. But I don't know where to begin or would I even be accepted.
I often feel skeptical about female Afghan singers. I am not sure if our time has come yet. Or if it has, could they handle it in a respectable way.
I hope you don't mind answering my question. I promised myself after I finish college I would start making my music dreams into reality. I would greatly appreciate if you could help me with this.
Best Happiness to your Future.
M.
