Synopsis

Album Description
Minoo Javan is heard regularly on Farsi speaking radios around the globe. Her voice has found a special place in the hearts of Iranians from the far corners of her native land to the great concert halls of Europe and America. Her rare ability to portray the love for her country and her devotion to its people, poets an artists who have enriched its culture, sets Minoo Javan apart from her other contemporaries. Minoo Javan can be heard in two albums, "Echoes Of Love" and "Minoo Javan Sings Persian Folk Songs". In "Echoes of Love", she sings modern and classical Persian music written for the lyrics of pure and elegant Persian poetry as an homage to its composers and her native land so that it might also be appreciated by the younger generation of Iranians who may never before have heard this music. In the Persian Folk Songs album, she sings the folk songs from the beautiful shores of Caspian sea; Gilan, Mazandaran, to the songs coming from the green peaks of the Kordestan mountains, from the pleasent music of the planes and mountains of Lorestan to the happy tunes of the sweet people of Shiraz and from the brave tribes of Boyer Ahmadi, to the pleasant sounds of the slopes of the proud Alborz mountains.
 

CD Reviews

Persian Folk Music Revived
as | fd | 10/05/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I was very lucky to come across this Album first in Los Angeles and then on Amazon.
For me the Album brought back memories of Iran, all its diverse cultures and its people, which even though far away, we can never be apart from.
I had heard bits and pieces of Persian Folk music as I grew up on Iran's National Radio on Friday mornings in Tehran. Those are days long gone. For me this album was a link to something, which has not been tangible to me for almost thirty years, My homeland.
The quality of the recording is superb. Both the Artist and the orchestra are exquisite."
