Greatest Folk concert ever!
I went to see Darya Dadvar last night and i must say that she was one of the best Iranian performers i had seen on stage or video. Amazing voice, excellent choice of songs, with fresh variations from the original versions. She sings folk songs from different areas of Iran with this mix of opera/freestyle jazz and it's unbelievable how great the combination has turned out. If she comes around to your area, don't miss her for anything. She does not have a CD (a big surprise to me and many others!), but she has posted a few of her concerts on youtube, watch one for yourself.
Of course, today instead of humming her songs, all that comes to my mind is Mohsen Namjoo's Toranj... i apologize to all Namjoo fans for not thinking so highly of him before. I gotta admit, he's got a real original style. I'm still stuck on only a few of his songs though; but even with those, it's proved very hard to force his voice out of my mind!
