Who is the Afghan Elvis?
Ahmad Zahir
“He would have helped in any way he could.” With Elvis Presley-size mutton chops for sideburns and a voice that was both haunting and playful while he performed during the 1960s and ’70s, Ahmad Zahir remains a legend to several generations of Afghans.
Did Ahmad Zahir drink alcohol?
Zahir absorbed many of these lessons, although he differed from the hippies in one notable way: While they smoked marijuana, Zahir gravitated towards alcohol, newly available in Afghanistan during a trial production period in the 1960s and ’70s.
Who was Ahmad Zahir wife?

Can Farsi speakers understand Tajik?
