In Afghanistan girls aren't supposed to play music or sing songs. But 25-year-old Nargiz didn't care. She started the Burka Band, the first Afghan girl band ever.
25-year-old Nargiz laughs when she shows us the video in Kabul , the capital of Afghanistan . She is one of the three girls who started the Burka Band two years ago.
- It was a lot of fun, but also very scary. Afghanistan is still a very dangerous place for modern women, and when we shot the video we had to do it very discreetely because no one could know that we were playing music, says Nargiz.

Those women must be hunted down and punished! Oh, wait, how are we going to know who they are?
That was great, but I don't want to watch it before bed as it might induce nightmares.
Somehow they remind me of smurf scrubbing bubbles.
This burka business appears to be somewhat of a game that these women must play. Pretty sad.
