Taking cues from Iran’s fiery and defiant female musical icons like Googoosh and Ramesh, Liraz reimagines their fighting spirit from the ‘70s. She sings in Farsi and the influences from those Persian forebears, where traditional Persian instruments were framed in a pop sensibility \u2028 Liraz is driven by the diverse assemblage of stories which make up her heritage and, by extension, the make-up of Iran. Her music has made her a beacon for a nascent movement around women’s rights - inside Iran and out.
Bravo, Liraz! A beautiful language like Farsi really suits this beauty of a song, and so does the instrumentation. I don’t know how you aren’t more famous around the world! YOU GO, GIRL! And if I knew how to say or write all this in Farsi, I would.
I want to sing it out loud To shout it from inside Uprooted and empty, asleep and awake When I sing I dream of Tehran My arrows stand steady and aimed As the lashes of my eyes To fire for our freedom Woman, give it on the head Women, sing it You’re allowed to dance You’re allowed to sing You’re allowed to rejoice We are women Gordafaries Together we’ll make a revolution Until when will we be quiet Until when will we lower our heads Until when will we bend our knees Until where? אני רוצה לשיר את זה החוצה / לצעוק את זה מבפנים כדי להרגיש ההפך מעצבות מתוך ריקנות ושורשים עקורים אני חולמת טהרן כל החיצים שלי עכשיו עומדים מכוונים כמו ריסיי , לירות ולשחרר אותנו Zan Bezan - אישה לאישה אישה תתני בראש אישה תשירי מותר לך לשיר מותר לך לרקוד מותר לך לשמוח אנחנו נשים , גורדאפאריות ( סמל לאישה האיראנית המשוחררת) עד מתי נהיה בשקט? עד מתי נוריד את הראש?? עד מתי נכרע ברך? עד לאן ? می خوام از درونم فریاد زنم این شعر را تا وارونه احساس کنم غمم را که از احساس تهی بودن و ریشه کن شدن از زادگاه است وقتی می خوانم, نقش تهران برایم مجسم می شود تیرهایم آماده هدف گیری همانند مژه هایم, برای پرتاب و رهای ما زنان, محجوب, ایرانی تا کی?
Dear Liraz, I am a Dutch Iranian citizen. I would love to arrange for you to sing this in the Hague. Consider joining force with the great band @Pettra :*
I have always been very keen on respecting and recognizing even unwritten protocols, but in this case, I don't know and honestly, I don't care if it is considered appropriate to share pop dance music on LinkedIn or not; but I am rea...lly tired of the moroseness, grumpiness, and seriousness of the 80s and the long list of do's and don'ts. Cuz I think that sharing this great find of today for gettin some energy and rhythm on a Monday morning will definitely have a positive influence on your productivity, your potential contributions to sustainable development around the world, and RU-vid is worth sharing with everyone. This is also a very attractive example of real and tangible ways of promoting the messages of love of humankind and peace around the world when one of "the others" of two tense societies on the brink of full-scale war in the problematic region of MENA, an Iranian-Israeli singer has collaborated anonymously with Iranian musicians to co-create this fantastic peace! Please don't be stingy and share this find with your friends and acquaintances on LinkedIn, you can quote me that this will promote peace, prosperity, and sustainable development in this region and the world. I will not earn a penny from any advertisement or any other sort of impression -for that matter- on this and so I think you will be so kind as to promote this without worrying about me as the finder 😍 (now I will switch back to my morose mode forever, I promise 😉) So I have never begged for attention but in this case, I am begging you that if you have an epsilon of determination for promoting peace in the world you should help promote this if you believe I have a reasonably high IQ and EQ!
