I just finished uploading a blog on Fereidoon Moshiri's famous poem Koocheh (The Alley) - If you find a good English translation, please post it there :)

Hi! R2-D2,

Thank you for posting the Ostaad's version, nobody can top that! He is the maestro! Wow! The other blog said the poem is 100 years old!

Thanks,

Thanks Yolanda :)

BTW, JJ has posted a new version of Morgh-e Sahar on the front page .. I posted in the comment section Ostaad's version of it, plus the poem in Farsi .. See if you want to post the poem in English :)

Hi! MM,

    Thank you for the link. I definitely need to check it out......so maybe I can get the DVD or CD without leaving my house....I got Googoosh' CD by accident.....Last Fathers' Day, I went to a Persian restaurant for lunch and also visited a Persian grocery store next to the restaurant....I got Googoosh' CD there, but I did not know Hayedeh at that time... Hayedeh got a better voice for sure!

thanks,

Hi R2-D2,

      Wow! Both sisters look very beautiful! Thank you for the link! Actually for me, the most important thing is that the singer has a great voice, like Haydeh, her voice can lift up people's spirit......It is sad that she died quite young.....Shajarian is close to 70 and is still singing!

You mentioned before that Haydeh is the best female singer for the past 100 years......I hope we will have (or discover) someone else with a voice like that soon! 

Yolanda - Hayedeh in concert

Hayedeh's live concert in Israel used to be on the Internet (150 mB, 30.5 minutes), but no longer available.  I see some sites that are selling it as a dvd though.  Whatever you get, make sure that the sound is digitally enhanced.  There is a 3x4 CD Hayedeh collection of her songs at Caltex records (//www.caltexrecords.com/Scripts/default.asp)

 e-world records has a collection of 7 Hayedeh DVDs (including the Israel concert for sale at //www.armenianrecords.com/hayspeced7db.html

Haydeh had a younger sister named Mahasti - This is a picture-video of Mahasti singing Aay Bahareh :)

Hi! R2-D2,

      I read this lady's bio on wikipedia. Apparently heart-attack ran in her family! She, her dad, and 2 brothers all died of heart-attack....the article also said she performed in Israel, which is unthinkable and epic! When I get a chance, I will search for her other music videos on you-tube or buy her greatest hits CD from the same place I got the Googoosh CD.

Thanks for sharing!

Hi! Mouse,

     I watched the video for about 10 seconds, my conclusion is that she is better than Googoosh....it is sad that she died at age of 47. Her bio on Wiki said she abused alcohol, she also had other diseases, like diabetes and high blood pressure....

One of Hayedeh's best. Yolanda yes she is better than Googoosh.

Everything is sacred.

Thank You Very Much Yolanda :)

This lady Haydeh was the greatest of all female singers of Iran, for the past at least 100 years, if not ever :)

She not only sang wonderful traditional Persian songs, but also a great deal of Pop songs too :)

P.S. Regarding the 22nd of Bahman, I think that the writing is clearly on the wall .. Those Mullahs that are smart, are busy packing :) ! !

Hi! R2-D2,

    This lady has an amazing voice. I think she sings (sang?) better than Googoosh. I have a Googoosh CD called "Last call"....I have to say that this lady's voice is more pure and powerfull than Googoosh's....I saved the video....22nd of Bahman is less than 72 hours away, but I have not heard what happened to the 9 people who have received the death penalty......I read an article on Payvand 2 days ago saying that Tehran governor is not worried about 22nd of Bahman.....not sure if the guy is just bragging:

Wow! You know all the great singers! Thanks for sharing!
