Naghma (singer)

Naghma (/ˈnæɡmə/; Pashto: نغمه ښاپېرۍ, IPA:[ˈnaɣmɐʂɑpeˈrəɪ]; born 1 January 1964) is an Afghan singer who started her career in the early 1980s. Similar to that of Sonny & Cher, she sang alongside Mangal during the 1980s and early 1990s. She sings in both Dari and Pashto, the country's two main languages.^[2]

Naghma stated in a 2019 interview on Mashriq TV that she was born in Kandahar, Afghanistan.^[1] Her exact birthplace and date of birth are not reported. She was the eldest daughter in a family of five boys and three girls,^[3] and was given the nickname Šaperai (ښاپېرۍ). Her father was Sayed Suleiman Shah, a Farsiwan from Deh Sabz District of Kabul Province.^[4] Her mother Bibi Mashala was a Pashtun from Kandahar. Both of Afghanistan's major languages were spoken in their house. Her father died when Naghma was five years old, all of her brothers were killed serving in the army and one of her sisters was killed in Kabul.^[3] As a young girl, she developed an interest in music since elementary school in Kandahar. At the age of around sixteen years, she moved to Kabul with her paternal uncle and continued her secondary education at Rabia Balkhi Lece, where she began performing as a vocalist in a girl's band. This was around the time of the April Revolution of 1978, when the People's Democratic Party of Afghanistan took control of Kabul and other parts of the country.^[5]

A year before finishing high school she married Mangal, an already popular Afghan singer from Laghman Province. They were instant celebrities, recording hits that are famous to this day. Her early songs were based on southern Afghan music, most of which were folkloric in nature.^[6] She additionally sang a song for the Afghan Air Force and Air Defense, titled "Lalaya Hawabaza (Beloved Pilot) in which she stood in the cabin of an Afghan Mil Mi-8.^[7]

Ella y su familia dejaron Afganistán para residir en la India durante aproximadamente dos años y de allí a Dubái en los Emiratos Árabes Unidos. ^{[ 8 ]} Después de permanecer allí durante dos años, la familia se dirigió a Pakistán. ^{[ 4 ]} Allí, tuvieron mucho éxito con una multitud entusiasta de exiliados afganos que sentían nostalgia por su música nativa. Su situación financiera había mejorado significativamente para entonces. En 2000, la familia emigró a los Estados Unidos como refugiados. ^{[ 2 ]} Naghma y Mangal se conectaron con la comunidad afgano-estadounidense del norte de California .

En marzo de 2013, se convirtió en la primera afgana en recibir el Tamgha-e-Imtiaz y el Pride of Performance , los máximos galardones presidenciales pakistaníes otorgados a artistas, deportistas, científicos y escritores. ^{[ 9 ]}

Naghma y Mangal se divorciaron en 2006, y posteriormente ella se casó con el hijo de Mohammad Nabi Mohammadi de la provincia de Logar . Ellos también se divorciaron. ^{[ 10 ]} Naghma tiene cuatro hijos: Anwar, Khyber, Lima y Madina. ^{[ 11 ]}
