This video is about Pashto traditional music and entertainment.

Pashto music (Pashto: د پښتو ټنګ ټکور) or Də Pəx̌tó ṭang-ṭakór is commonly performed in Afghanistan and Pakistan among Pashtun people.

Tappa

Tappa (Pashto: ټپه) is the oldest and most popular genre of the Pashto poetry. The Tappa is a composition of two unequal meters, in which the first line is shorter than the succeeding one, yet it reflects all human feelings and aspirations elegantly. Be it laborers, peasants, or women, all sentiments find expression in the Tappa. It is also common among the Pashtuns that a boy of school age would sing it, the elders in their hujrahs, or the women in their home and Godar alike. It is the only song sung in the time of grief and on the occasion of marriage. In music it is sung with the traditional Afghan musical instruments rubab and mangai. Tappa has up to 16 different models of harmony and is sung with full orchestra. In hujrah it is sung with rubab and sitar.
