Burka Band - Myth or Reality?

I like the idea of a world in which a band of girls gets a chance to fulfill their dreams and play music without fear of death or reprisals.

When someone want to perform their art, at the risk fo their own lives, that's a scary situation. Journalist Michael Lund writes about the Burka Band, who are in just such a position.

What would you expect from a girls' group from Afghanistan? I didn't expect what I heard. I'd love to see them able to create a full length CD. A lyric from the song:

"You give me all your love, you give me all your kisses, and then you touch my burqa, and don't know who it is...,"
