Hashmat Ehsanmand:

In every country, there are many talented and well known faces whose fame and voice are known to everyone, and people like to see them performing on stage and TV as well as that they are willing to listen to their voices via many other medias, our beautiful country Afghanistan has also seen many of such people through out the history. It is worth mentioning that out of those talented and popular faces, we can name one the most well inspired and lively faces of our Afghan singers, whose voice is known to every Afghan around the globe, Hashmat Ehsanmand, whose fame spanning around the world among not only Afghans but also foreigners and strangers. He has sung so many songs, many of which are very popular and loved by so many people and his fans. It is and obvious fact that he has gotten this fame and popularity as a result of his hard attempt and day and night work on the pure Afghan music.

You must be familiar with his name and sweet and attractive voice, he is, of course, known as Hashmat Ehsanmand (Barakzai), who was born in the beautiful city of Kabul on  15^th July 1978. His father was an engineer and his mother used to work in Radio Afghanistan. He was a clever kid and the youngest. He started to learn how to write and read when he was only four. When his father realized the fact, he took him to the school. He was refused to join because he was only four. He had to wait another two years before he could go to school. He started writing poems when he was in his class 2^nd.  In the meanwhile he was taken to Afghanistan TV by her mother, who was working for Afghanistan TV at the time, to take part in programs for children. He was then selected by the directors to join Afghan Film and later Shafaq Film Production. He appeared in 5 Afghan movies before he had to leave his country and go to India.

India, which is a familiar name to everyone, is the land of culture, art and music, Just like Afghanistan. He went to Lovely Public School and later to Jamia Millia Islamia University for continuation of his studies. In the meanwhile, he joined Laxmi Maha Vedhiale to learn the basics of music. Ustad Yusuf Khan used to love his voice. He was graduated from Jamia Millia Islamia in the year 1995 and then he went back to Afghanistan before making his way towards London. His first ever public appearance was a concert for Afghan refugees in London on the first day of Eid-ul-fiter. He proved himself in just two hours and the crowd just could not stop admiring him. He has had quite a few volunteer concerts for Afghans since he came to London. His first ever commercial concert was launched by his brother Mr Rohullah Ehsanmand on the 19^th day of March 1999, which was great. Once again his fame spread everywhere and people were desperate to get his latest video album. His second concert was in London on the 20^th march 2000 and again, he was as great as he was expected to be. His fame was spreading wider around the world among the Afghan people.

When his fame spread wider, Afghan people and fans in Germany were willing to see him live in the concert, thus, he was then invited to Germany Bermann city. He was surrounded by fans that did not let him come off the stage.  When he was about to sing the last song of the night, he sang one, the crowd did not let him come down, he, then, sang another one and he sang eleven last songs that night in the concert. He had a concert in Berlin as well. He hired a small place thinking that no one knows him, so spending much money on a bigger hall would just be wastage of money. He guessed it right, Only 19 people turned up in his concert, but as soon as he sang the first song, some people got out of the hall. I could still remember the disappointed look on his face. But those nineteen people invited their friends and families to the concert and later within two hours the hall was full and tickets ran out. He, then, suggested that the gates should be wide open for the fans to come in. Five hundred people turned up in a place where only 300 people would fit.

He went to America. He had two concerts in New York and Virginia. His New York show was not really very good due to difference and problem of sound system and his keyboard's not working properly.  But in Virginia he was as great as Bermann. Later on, he had a tour with Qader Eshpari and Mariam to Europe.  First concert was on Amsterdam, which was one of the biggest successes of his life career. Second concert was in Hamburg, which was also one of the greatest and lifetime achievements. A DVD of the mentioned will be in the market soon called (3STARS). Third concert was in Essen and then Frankfurt. They were the best performances, which he had ever done in his lifetime.

He has four CDs released in the market. All of them were hit at the time.

1. Shahr-e-Arezo (City of Hope), which is full of pure Afghan music and nice songs, liked and loved by many fans.

2. Tabassum (smile),  which seems a great hit ever.

3. Khatera-e-Aanshab (Memories of the night), which is really a very nice and magnificent album.

4. Hashmat Live in concert in Hamburg, which is full of lively and attractive song.

5. Feroza Banu (Names popular in Afghanistan), which is absolutely loved by fans.
