First 30 minutes of the show featured auditions in Nangarhar province. Shamsullah a member of Afghan National Army who has practiced music in trench for several years and now he participated in this program in order to become famous and sing for his compatriots. Furthermore, Zulaikha yousofzai whose family is against music, performed a Pashto song which was much encouraged by the judges of the show.

 

After that it was time for our hopefuls in Kandahar province. Milad a young boy who has been practicing music since he was 7 years old starts out the auditions in Kandahar with a song (Seta Setergi Bala Wakhlem) from Latif Nangarhari, but fails to impress the judges. Zaid Hamid is another young boy from Kandahar province in this show, he performed a song from the great Afghan singer Ahmad Wali and surprised the judges and got a chance to sing in the next round.

 

Perhaps the most surprising moment of the episode comes via Abdul Qader Shamal an aged man, who auditioned in Jalalabad and tells our host that he traveled approximately 1000km from home in Badakhshan to this program. He performed a great song with a traditional musical instrument and really impressed the judges.
