Naghma (Dari: نغمه ښاپېرۍ; Pashto: نغمه ښاپېرۍ, born 1 January 1964) is an Afghan singer who started her career in the early 1980s. Similar to that of Sonny & Cher, she sang alongside Mangal during the 1980s and early 1990s. Naghma's songs are mostly in Dari and Pashto, the two major languages of Afghanistan.[2]
