Many Afghan musicians have been forced to leave Afghanistan and pursue activities abroad. Based on fieldwork conducted in the greater Geneva area, this research explores the role of Afghan music in maintaining and (re)constructing a sense of self and belonging for Afghan migrants. By following a young Afghan musician from the city of Mazar-I-Sharif and his group, I examine how music can be used to maintain ties to peers and bridge national boundaries. The research mainly focuses on musical events and explores music's potential to contribute to a sense of Afghan identity. It also considers the role of the internet and social media in bridging national boundaries, allowing people to follow fellow musicians' practice and the musicians to broaden their audience. The collection and analysis of empirical data is based on film as a research method. Therefore, participant observation with video and semistructured interviews are central to this study.
