Two Iranian women practice playing the daf, a traditional Iranian drum, before performing at Iran's first women's music festival, in Tehran August 28, 2001. The week long festival, which began August 26, aims to provide women an opportunity to show their musical talent and encourage young talent. Public music performances by women were banned after the 1979 Islamic revolution, but with the easing of cultural restrictions after the election of President Mohammad Khatami in 1997, the performances have flourished.
