2015 AHRFF OFFICIAL SONG "BAMIYAN"
We thank Paris Chansons Band for dedicating their song for the festival, for Afghanistan and for peace.
This song is dedicated to peace. It's about the destruction of the Buddha statues that were destroyed in Bamiyan. And it is about what can never be destroyed - faith and hope. Co-written by Jacob Kantor and Zera Vaughan. Arranged and produced by Jeff Lams. Performed by the Paris Chansons band featuring Julia Kantor on vocals, Endre Balogh on violin, Jeff Lams on keys, Adam Cohen on bass and Sinclair Lott on drums.
