Music is returning to Swat Valley

Mudassar ShahMay 27, 2015

Swat Valley, a district in North Pakistan, was once known as the country's music and culture center.

Five years ago, the Taliban were driven out of the Valley and now music is slowly returning, with young female dancers becoming the main breadwinners for their families.
