I would like to share this music video which remembers Iran's political prisoners, and those Iranians who were persecuted for their beliefs in 1389. This song, "Bahar-e ghamangiz," is based on a poem by Houshang Ebtehaj (Sayeh). My friend, Parisa Vaaleh, wrote the music and performed the vocals. Kamran Thunder has arranged and performed the music. I hope you enjoy her beautiful music and remember Iran's prisoners on this first day of spring, too.

Iran: Prison Massacre: Hundreds of Prisoners Dead or Injured

by Mash Ghasem on Tue Mar 22, 2011 11:00 AM PDT

Its not just in Libya that civilians are being slaughtered, its
also happening in Iran. At least 150 prisoners are dead or injured after
bloody clashes erupted in Karaj’s Ghezel Hesar prison on the night of
March 15th. Thousands of prisoners from units 2 and 3 launched a protest
after hearing the news of plans to execute ten inmates.

Beautiful song.  It is heartbreaking to sit and imagine these brave, talented Iranians are in captivity.

Khanom Kaviani dast marizad, ay val, as the youth say these days back home, that Haft Seen was superb, and this posting is just what the docter ordered. JJ should have this up there, in the first row, up front and close. This is a great video all around, poetry, vocals, music,..very thoughtful of you, as usual, thank you so very much.

MPD jan this is the first time I heard her singing , brought back some memories, thanx.

 

ایران ای سرای امید
بر بامت سپیده دمید
بنگر کزین ره پر خون
خورشید خجسته دمید

اگر چه دلها پر خون است
شکوه شادی افزون است
سپیده ما گلگون است آی گلگون است
که دست دشمن در خون است

راه ما راه حق راه بهروزی است
اتحاد اتحاد رمز پیروزی است
صلح و آزادی
جاودانه در همه جهان خوشباد
یادگار خون عاشقان خوشباد  
ای بهار
ای بهار
ای بهار
جاودان
جاودان
جاودان

Parisa's voice is "Aasemaani"

I was also as fortunate as MPD to watch Parisa's performance ;-)

She is just great!

And this video is just AMAZING!

Thank you Parisa.

Parisa Vaaleh’s voice is mesmerizing

by Multiple Personality Disorder on Mon Mar 21, 2011 06:10 PM PDT

This song gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it.

I was fortunate enough to watch her perform on stage last October.  She is a great singer, and having had the opportunity to meet her in person after the show I found her to be a great lady, so kind and polite.  Also, this video, the poem by Houshang Ebtehaj, and the music are incredibly beautiful and patriotic.  Great job!
