  • Mir Maftoon (Persian: میر مفتون) also written as Mehri Maftun, is an Afghan musician. Born 1962s in Badakhshan. He specialized in authentic instruments, principally the dambura (a two string lute), the harmonium and the ghaychak (a two string violin).

In the West, Maftun is mainly known as an instrumentalist; in Afghanistan he is known as a singer as well. His texts vary from romantic and humoristic to social critic. Maftun knew to survive in a country where music had been forbidden by the Taliban. He performed in Europe as well, like in 2001 in Arnhem in the Netherlands. In 2001 he was honored with an international Prince Claus Award "for his musical talents and his role as a culture medium of the traditional music of North Afghanistan." (en)
