Hangama (Persian: هنگامه) is a popular Tajik singer from Afghanistan. She currently lives an exile in Canada where from she continues her music career. Before her emigration from Afghanistan in the early 80s, she was counted as one of the most popular female singers in that country. Besides Afghanistan, she is also known in Tajikistan and Iran where she has a fan base.

Background

Little is known of Hangama's early years. However, she emerged with Ahmad Wali as a very popular musical duo who became the unrivaled singer-couple in early 80s. Their first few songs recorded in Afghanistan and the accompanying videos became immensely popular and those songs remain classics of the Afghan music archives.

Concerts

In 2005, Hangama returned to Afghanistan for a round of concerts in Kabul. Reportedly she was applauded for her contribution to the music of Afghanistan over the past 20 years.
