This is a ridiculous song and video, but it’s actually pretty decent music. I just know it’s gonna be stuck in my head for at least a week.

Here’s a little info on the band:

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. “Blueee, burka blue,” sings the lead singer on the tv, while another woman plays the drums and a third the guitar. The three girls make small dancesteps and swing the microphone as you would in any other girl band. But there is one big difference. The three girls all wear the Afghan burka, the blue dress that covers a woman from head to toe. 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. “Of course it was a joke to sing in the burkas, but it was also necessary to wear them. If people in Afghanistan knew who the members of the Burka Band were, we could be attacked or killed because there are still a lot of religious fanatics here,” says Nargiz, who hasn’t told any of her friends that she has played in the Burka Band. In 2003 the German record label Ata Tak released the song in Germany and the song became a hit in German clubs after it had been remixed by a german DJ. The Burka Band even performed at a big concert in K�ln during a trip to Germany. Unfortunately, Nargiz couldn’t join the band in K�ln because she had to work, but she followed all the hype from her home in Kabul.
