biography
Ahmad Wali was born in Kabul, Afghanistan, as son of Mohammad Akram Nawabi, a former Police Commander who served in various provinces of Afghanistan. He is said to have grown up in an influential family around strict discipline. According to his official website, he is reported to have developed an interest in music, and particularly in singing, early on. He learned to play the Tabla (hand drums) at twelve years of age, before the renowned Master player of Tabla Ustad Mohammad Hashim. Emerging from the background figure of a Tabla player, he eventually took the spotlight to start singing. First shadowing other commanding singers in events, he established a position for himself over time. He eventually recorded an audio tape of his live recordings which was presented to Ustad Zaland, a prominent director of Kabul Radio Station.
His encounter with Zaland proved fruitful as the legendary singer took the young singer under his wings. He composed a song for Ahmad Wali titled Chashman –e –Abee and this song coupled with Mah-ruye-tu (composed by A. Wali himself) immediately shot the singer to fame. This was when he was still attending the Habibia High School.
As was the practice in Afghanistan at the time, new talents were expected to immediately start performing live after their initial recordings to solidify their fame and gain mass popularity. Ahmad Wali’s first performance was held on the occasion of Mother’s Day on which day he sang the newly composed Ma Qurban-e-Saru-Paye-tu-Meshum Madar-e-man. A performance applauded, he immediately became a household name as the range of his voice and confidence coupled with his looks completely stunned Afghanistan. That year, he won the “Singer of the Year” award. He continues to be one of the top singers of all times.
personal life
Ahmad Wali, on numerous occasions in the late 70s, had been linked to his fellow singer Hangama. The two recorded several songs together, and the attributed romantic chemistry of their music videos was a constant topic in the press. Neither of them admitted or denied any involvement beyond professional level when interviewed. But when the two left the country and met up in Germany again, they married. However, both Ahmad Wali and Hangama do not talk about their marriage or their subsequent divorce, the details of which are not elaborate written material.
However, Ahmad Wali has been re-married after divorcing Hangama and lives in California with his wife Zarmina. He has a son named Massieh from his first marriage who lives in Toronto, Canada with Hangama.
