In the mid-20th century, there were different kinds of traditional music styles in Iran, yet from the 1950s, performers started adopting Western melodic styles and instruments. By the 1970s, a solid pop industry had arisen – alongside a core repertoire of nostalgic love melodies – and this was the music that the vast majority tuned in to when old-style music was progressively viewed as distant from a modernizing nation.

Iranian popular music drew – and draws – on components from folks and classical style conventions, however utilizing Western instruments, for example, electric guitar, keyboard, bass, and drums. Its stars are solely singers, and their repertoire to a great extent contains love melodies and nostalgic ballads.

With the prohibition of all pop music, both Iranian and Western, after the 1979 Revolution, numerous Iranian artists left the nation and settled in Europe or North America. The greatest flood was to Los Angeles – Tehrangeles to the million-in number migrant Iranian populace – where a flourishing music landscape has developed.

With Iran’s developing youth culture – and remembering that an expected 70% of the populace is younger than 30 – this “new pop” music has picked up an impressive following. There is likewise a developing grass-roots rock music scene, albeit just a few groups have figured out how to gain government consent to record and perform in public. In 2002, the site tehranavenue.com facilitated the first on-line rock music competition (“UMC,” trailed by another in 2004), which served to be pivotal in promoting and disseminating local pop music.

Pop Artists

In 2000, Googoosh left Iran and, after over twenty years of silence, toured North America and Europe, performing to blissful crowds in stuffed arenas and show lobbies. She presently lives in Los Angeles. Other significant artists, who moved to Los Angeles and have kept the old ballad tradition alive in performance and studio records, included in that group is arguable the biggest Iranian male artist in history, also known as Mr. Voice and widely considered the father of the nation, Ebi. In 2014, the two globally renowned Iranian pop artists took the world by storm with their incredible feature song ‘Nostalgia,’ and subsequent World tour, which was the first time the two legends shared a stage in almost 40 years.

This is further manifested by fifty years of touring the globe, performing for a record number of fans. His top-selling concert tours sell out the absolute loftiest venues on the planet: including Wembley Stadium, Sydney Opera House, Air Canada Center, Globen, Cologne Arena, Sony Center Toronto, Queen Elizabeth Theater, and Greek Theater Los Angeles.
