Fars Funk


Persian Funk!

Iran was once a colourful, dynamic and exciting country. Even the Queen of Iran appeared frequently on the front cover of magazines for her grace and beauty.

During the revolution,the government ordered all households to be raided and any records that were found were destroyed. They also put a ban on female solo singers! We will not see this wonderful music die.

I showed my dad the first video and he laughed. Turns out the singer was my grandads homeboy and used to come round their house regularly when my dad was a little boy :)

Listen and enjoy!
