Different types of Iranian music examples!
« on: November 22, 2011, 04:02:20 PM »
First I'll begin with Persian Pop or just slang in English as PPop. PPop is the most popular Iranian music style in modern times. It's a mixture of electronic with Persian singing, it's not very rooted in Persian culture, and is usually dance music.

Traditional Persian music is my favorite. Here's a few examples.

Persian Folk. is a traditional Iranian music style, it usually sings traditional poems or tales.

Patriotic/national music. Here's two examples.

Good Christian Persian song (I don't like Islamic music very much).

Also since Armenians are Christian I will link a good Armenian song (Armenians are the racial cousins of Iranians)

I don't like Iranian rap very much but I will also post an example.

H5 to you for this thread - thank you.

If it exists, I'd be interested in Iranian techno/house music (I use techno/house at the gym because it usually has a steady beat).

I love this song, it's done by Tajiks (Tajiks are indigenous Persian speakers).

Cyrus, have you checked into Baha'i music that goes back to the times Mohammad marched off to war. 

Way back then before the Baha'i"s broke from the Muslims and formed a separate faith much akin to the Christians breaking from Judaism.

Ancient Persian drummers were the woman that played the drums as the men marched off to war. The drums were woman's work, the men went to war as the woman drummed and sang from the tops of parapets and hills.

The Bahia's didn't come along until 1884 and have their own style of Persian music today.  However there are some Artists that still play the ancient music, the drums and songs sang thousand years ago.

Haunting the music, as is the the songs sung in a synagogue today that Jesus heard in his time.

I think I saved a nice Bahai song once but I lost it.
