"I Will Remember" Album
A Self Produced album Ariana wrote as her mom was dying and as she lost her motherland, Afghanistan. It's a record about living and dying, earth and heaven, Afghanistan, her life growing up in America, refugees, love of different forms, social justice and environmental justice.

Ariana Delawari's second full length double album ENTELECHY is both a continuation of the Afghan American Folk classical universe of Lion of Panjshir, and an outer worldly departure into a universe of avante grade pop electronic music.

Tree Hymn Single 2009
Tree Hymn is one of the very first songs Ariana has ever written. An older version was released on her first EP when her band was called Lion of Panjshir. This version was recorded in Kabul and LA. It was supposed to be on her debut album, Lion of Panjshir, but didn't make the cut. She later released it as a single.
Lion of Panjshir
More than just a debut album from a gifted young storyteller, Ariana Delawari’s “Lion of Panjshir” is a psychedelic folk journey with a very interesting story behind it. Recorded in both Kabul and Los Angeles, Delawari’s own guitar, piano, and vocal melodies are soaked in classical Afghan rhythms and echoes of Laurel Canyon rock & roll. Delawari delivers a fresh and impassioned sound that exudes a universal spirit.

A poem I wrote that's in the insert of Entelechy I & II
"Delawari wrote or co-wrote everything on Lion of Panjshir. She has used her origins to make a seemingly timeless album that will likely sound as compelling in a decade as it does now."
