Founder of Afghan Music School Trying to Get 200 ‘Guitar Girls’ Out of Country

"Girl With a Guitar," a music school founded by Lanny Cordola, had been teaching impoverished girls and young women how to give voice to independence by playing and singing. But since the Taliban devoured the country after the withdrawal of U.S. and Western troops, the musicians have been in hiding. Cordola and others, including Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine, have issued desperate pleas for help in evacuating an endangered group of young female musicians in Afghanistan.
