Googoosh - sincerity and passion
I only came across Persian pop a week ago and I never heard such conviction and power in popular music. Like many people in the West I thought Iran was full of religious zealots and terrorists. Instead, I found a very sophisticated musical culture and amazing passion and beauty.
Try Daryiae by Googoosh - on youtube search Daryiae
I can find absolutely no-one who will even try out this wonderful music, let alone discuss it, which is why I'm here. In hope.
