Early life
Qamar Gul was born in Nangarhar Province of Afghanistan. She started singing at the age of seven and, due to wide audience appreciation, she was encouraged to pursue it professionally. Her career reached its zenith when she married Mohammad Din Zakhil who composed many of her songs. By the early 1970s, she gained fame across Afghanistan and ranked among the top female singers of the country. Qamar Gul immigrated to Canada due to the ongoing civil war in Afghanistan. She still lives in the province of Ontario, where from she continues her music career.
Legacy
Qamar Gul’s music includes compositions from Zakhil as well as other Afghan composers. She still maintains her popularity among Afghans, particularly among the older generation who associate her music with the nostalgic times of Afghanistan before the civil war. Her voice is often referred to as “The Golden Voice” by the Afghan media. Over the years, she has collaborated with various Afghan singers: with Rukhshana in the 1970s, with Gul Zaman in the 1980s, and in 2010s with Zarsanga, Waheed Qasemi, and Hangama.
