Iranian Music

[Brian Mahoney]

Here are some of the bands I came across for my project (the ones I thought were decent, at least):O-Hum: http://www.myspace.com/ohumThey're the best rock band I found. They mostly use Hafez's poems for lyrics which is probably why they were the first ones allowed to perform a concert abroad. You also can actually buy their CDs.Salome: http://www.myspace.com/salomerapA female rapper. I don't really like rap but I think she's really good. She speaks really clearly too so I can actually understand some of it.Hichkas: http://www.myspace.com/hichkas021Another rapper. I think he might be the most popular one in Iran as far as I can tell.Khashayar: Khashayar-Doostam_(www.Bia2.com).mp3Yas: http://www.myspace.com/yaspersian2
