- For her debut album, promoted through the David Lynch Foundation, and mixed by the American filmmaker himself, Ariana Delawari returns to her hometown of Kabul to record songs oozing with passion, dreamy sounds, and direct messages.
- The record borrows its title from Ahmad Shah Massoud, the revolutionary leader nicknamed "The Lion of Panjshir". Massoud, a prominent anti-Taliban leader and a lover of art and poetry, was assassinated on Sept. 9, 2001. A theme of identity runs through The Lion of Panjshir, and Delawari's songs move back and forth between Afghan and Western styles of music. Filmmaker and producer David Lynch is a fan of Delawari's. After hearing her play a live show, he signed her to his label and mixed her record himself.—npr.org

For her impressive debut album, promoted through the David Lynch Foundation, and mixed by the American filmmaker himself, Ariana Delawari returns to her roots and her hometown of Kabul to record songs oozing with passion, dreamy sounds, and crystal-clear messages.—Nick Riganas
