Persian Classical Music in the Radio Age

Iranian singer and educator Mahsa Vahdat explores how the radio and recording age impacted Persian music, and the emergence of female stars such as Qamar and Marzieh.

Iranian singer and educator Mahsa Vahdat with the second episode of her three part series on Iranian - or Persian - classical music. In this episode she explores how the radio and recording age impacted the music, and the emergence in particular of female stars, such as Qamar and Marzieh. Mahsa explores the music of the Golha radio programmes, the immensely popular music and poetry programmes on Radio Iran that lasted for almost a quarter of a century, right up to the Islamic Revolution of 1979. We hear music that featured in the Shiraz Arts Festival in the 1970s, and the protest songs written in the era of the Shah that still to this day remain popular in the era of the Ayatollahs.
