Afghan girls who learned guitar from Rage Against the Machine's Tom Morello are in hiding after their school was destroyed. He is seeking help.
Since its inception in 2015, the program has educated around 200 Afghan students, who have collaborated with the likes of Morello, Brian Wilson , Kathy Valentine , Rami Jaffree , Vicki Peterson , Sammy Hagar, Blake Shelton and more.
“We’re trying to investigate if getting them to the Pakistan border is a possibility,” Cordola — who is in Pakistan plotting means of escape for 12 Afghan girls, their families and his driver — told Billboard. “We’ve been talking to a lot of different people, rescue organizations. We need to get them out of Afghanistan to start a new life somewhere.”
According to Billboard, Cordola initially instructed his pupils to dispose of their guitars, which have instead been stored away from the girls’ homes to avoid drawing attention from the Taliban.The last U.S. forces flew out of Kabul’s airport in Afghanistan, the Pentagon said Monday, bringing down the curtain on America’s longest war.
“Now, with the Taliban’s rapid takeover of Kabul, we are literally in hiding, with our most senior students in particular danger,” the program coordinator for Girl With a Guitar said in a statement obtained by Billboard.“Our school is closed … as girls playing Western music with our American male teacher, we could not be at greater risk.
