Karomatullo Qurbonov (Tajik: Кароматулло Қурбонов, Persian: کرامتالله قرباناف) (November 29, 1961 – October 17, 1992) was a popular pop singer and composer from Tajikistan. On October 17, 1992 Qurbonov and a number of his band members were murdered by gunmen from the militia.[1] Qurbonov was one of a number of intellectual and cultural figures murdered during the Tajik Civil War. In 2008 a former member of the Popular Front, Mahmadahdi Nazarov, also known as Makhsum Mahdi, was convicted of Qurbonov's murder.[1]
Qurbonov's daughter, Noziya Karomatullo, is one of the most popular musicians in Tajikistan today.
