Tabla for Two performing a Pashto song
“Watan Janat Neshan De Gulan Paki Karama”
Composed and sung by Ustad Awalmir (1931-1982)
In this performance, Masood Omari is singing and playing Dolak, and Abigail Adams Greenway is playing Harmonium.
Ustad Awalmir was an ethnic Pashtun Afghan composer, musician, singer, and poet who wrote and sang in the Pashto language. His contribution to Afghan music led him the honor of the title Ustad from the Ministry of Culture and Information. His love and patriotism for Afghanistan is demonstrated in songs such as the famous "Da Zamong Zeba Watan", meaning "this is our beautiful homeland", referring to Afghanistan, as in this song.

Tabla for Two
Playing for Peace
Tabla for Two was formed in 2012 when Abigail Adams Greenway and Masood Omari met in the Zamani House of Heritage, an Afghan textile showroom in Washington, DC. They formed a musical partnership after Abigail studied tabla with Masood. She totally immersed herself in her tabla studies to the extent that she left aside her career as a visual artist. Later she learned to play the harmonium as a natural development of her classical Indian music studies. Inspired by someone who could keep the beat to accompany his musical travels, Masood began composing new music for two tabla players, particularly including one (Abigail) playing the three daya. Utilizing the classical structure, Masood has written modern tabla compositions that are mesmerizing. Tabla For Two represents the best in East-West cooperation.
