I looked but don’t see a thread about Iranian music. It bums me out that we’re bombing yet another country that we know nothing about. I like to think we Internet people are all friends regardless of our governments. I’m literally having panic attacks that I can’t stop my electeds from being assholes, I wish I could commiserate and make friends with everyone else
There was a tar performance by Ali Ghamsari at the Damavand power station to protest attacks on energy infrastructure.
Well the metal band system of a down consists of Armenian Americans.
I get that Armenia isn’t Iran. But it’s close by.
I bet there are some legit metal heads in Iran.

As a millennial I was definitely into metal as a teenager and young adult.
I bet we all would have been head thrashing to local metal bands together.
Busting each other up in mosh pits.
Also.
This guy I follow on Instagram is from Iran/iraq or maybe his parents were. I think he’s now in american. My age-ish.
Pretty funny dude. Dark humor.
He’s got this one video about selling an American tank that’s pretty funny.

Here is his profile
There’s Saba Alizadeh (ambient) last month released Rituals of the Last Dawn on the Berlin Karlrecords label
Ata Ebtekar (ambient) - a bit like being present in an earlier Soviet sci-fi . He also publishes under the name Sote for more abstract techno
This is a song from diaspora, it was the soundrack of a movie: Farinaz Be Name Zan https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pb9uEiduKaw
Look for music by Iranians living in exile, because there’s nothing cool coming from Iran in recent times
The anti genocider missiles are crazy cool
Boo this guy
Not sure about music but i do have a fav recipe. Layali Lubnan (Lebanese Nights dessert). I am wishing them peace too.
Recipe or it didn’t happen. lol
Sounds delicious! I like things with the rise or orange water, they’re so unique.
I don’t have any cool Iranian music or recipes, but I shared some cute Iranian owls recently!
It’s a fantastic dessert. I have also made the topping from just some whipped cream and tinned coconut cream. Never skip the syrup!
You can help stop your elected dickheads. Protest, general strike, a constant barrage of your elected officials with dissent. They were bombing schools in your name.
Iran has been under the longest internet blackout in history (if you don’t count North Korea). The things that trickle out from there are scarce and that little bandwidth may be better used to collect evidence of atrocities, ironically committed either by the regime or the US/Israel coalition. The current top 40 may be less important at this point in time. So there is a pretty high chance that you won’t get a good answer to your question.
