So, did you reach a decision yet? Time is running out.
Y'all please send authentic artists which legit represent the countries okay
If you find difficulty to find an eligible artist within your chosen country, maybe you need to change country
Just saying
Afghanistan has banned women from playing music or appearing in public with their faces visible, when the Talibans were in power, from 1996 to 2001 and they are facing discrimination even today.
Last year, Zahra Elham became the first woman to win the vote-in singing competition Afghan Star in the 14 years.
โEveryone was taunting me on the way,โ said Elham, who hails from the Hazara ethnic minority that has long suffered discrimination in Afghanistan. โThere were comments about ethnicity since, in our tribe, it is not desired for a girl to become a singer. Now my fear has increased.โ
So you can see how Afghan female performers had to practically flee the country in order to continue their musical career and be alive. Not to mention there was a civil-war and many had to flee the country anyway.
I think exiled diaspora should count just as much as people still currently living in the country, especially in war torn countries like this one. As long as it's not western pop, I don't see the problem frankly. But the moderators have taken an issue with it and I'm still patiently awaiting their decision.
