Eras
Five decades,
one timeline
Scroll the decades, or jump to one. Every era holds its songs, its records and its photographs — from the earliest tapes to the newest single.
First stages, first tapes
It begins with Hamsayeha in 1985 — half a million copies sold among Iranians abroad, and a young singer who brings Western club music to a Persian stage for the first time.
Persian pop goes electric
Sahneh, Pedar and Faryad — the decade he writes his own music, earns the name Siavash-e Sahneh, and takes Persian pop onto international dance charts.
The songs everybody knows
The sing-along years. The songs become weddings, break-ups and long drives for millions of listeners — and are still counting views today.
The decade of singles
The albums give way to singles — one release at a time, and a catalogue rediscovered by a younger audience arriving through YouTube rather than radio.
Still writing, still touring
New singles, new languages, and the first Persian blues record — four decades in, the output has not slowed down.
