Persian Pop Music
Persian Pop Music is a popular genre that originated in Iran during the 20th century. It blends traditional Persian music with modern influences, including Western pop, rock, and electronic sounds. Artists often sing in Farsi, and the lyrics typically explore themes of love, social issues, and personal experiences.
The genre gained significant popularity after the 1979 Iranian Revolution, leading many artists to emigrate and continue their careers abroad. Notable figures in Persian Pop Music include Googoosh, Ebi, and Dariush, who have contributed to its evolution and global reach, appealing to both Iranian and international audiences.
