"Unlike his cousin and teacaher, Mohammad Omar, Amir Mohammad was not an officially government-appointed ustâd (master musician). However, he was generally addressed by members of the public and by many musicians as Ustad Amir Mohammad, and is remembered with that respectful title") p. 32 (b. 1931, Qaabel-Bai, district of Deh Sabz, Kabul Province [Afghanistan]) p. 49. "During the Jihâd era (1978-92), Amir Mohammad was based in Pakistan, and made frequent trips to Iran, especially to sing for the large community of Heratis in exile in Mashhad. He also visited the USA. He died in Pakistan in 1997, on his way to play some concerts in Iran."
