More than two years ago, Darya started experimenting with new music styles which he wanted to use in his next album. This style involved “World Pop” which was a mix of pop music from all around the world and so, Darya involved music and musicians from all around the globe. This experiment involved Afghani music, Spanish music, Turkish music, Hindi music, and many others with musicians from Afghanistan, India, Turkey, Spain, Bulgaria, Germany and the USA.
By combining these music styles with Afghani music and after two years of dedicated hard work, he created the album HA! This album is Darya’s first World Pop album with a huge variety of music and it is a totally new music style in the history of Afghan music. The album contains 11 songs in various languages such as Pashto, Farsi, Hazaaragi, and Uzbaki and has become a big hit after its recent release. You can listen to the demo of this album below.
