Manija Dawlatova (also spelled as Manizha Davlatova and Manija Davlatova and Manizha Dawlatova and Manija Dawlat) is a popular Tajik singer. Manjia sings in Tajiki, a dialect of Modern Persian native to her country. She performs in concerts regularly in her native Tajikestan as well as other neighboring countries.
Background
Manija was born in Dushanbe, Tajikestan.
Since her concert in Mazar-e-Sharif and Kabul (both in Afghanistan), she has gained celebrity in Afghanistan in addition to building on her already established renown in Central Asian countries. A recent poll conducted in Kabul named Manija (among Farsi speakers) and Nazia Iqbal (among Pashto speakers) as the most popular female singers in that country.
As of 2006, she has two albums, both recorded live in Mazar-e-Sharif. Her concert in Kabul drew thousands of enthusiastic fans. Reportedly in both of these concerts, the stage was filled with flower bouquets.
In 2006, she performed in a series of concerts along Leila Forouhar in Dushanbe, Tajikestan.
