What 10 songs define modern Iran? I know many of you are interested in the music that I write about in my book “Soundtrack of the Revolution: The Politics of Music in Iran.” So I’ve put together a podcast. I tried to choose songs that speak to the most important political and cultural currents in post-revolutionary Iran. But also songs that just tell us what life has been like in Islamic Iran. So on the one hand I have, for example, a track that audiences have turned into the most recognizable ritual of protest, but also a song that was played at every birthday party in 1980s Iran. What would your 10 songs be? Share with me here or on the Soundtrack of the Revolution Facebook page.
