Felipa Afghan ban on women singing in public (13) Iranian ban on women singing in public 20 Mar 21


Woman have been banned from singing in public for many years now in Iran; but some women still resist.

Here is a BBC video about two Iranian women who now live in exile after having been jailed for their musical activities.

I've been listening to Iranian music for the Nowruz spring/new year festival, and I see lots of women singing and playing instruments. There is a high level of women's involvement in music in the diaspora community, apparently. Men and women do play music and sing in groups together, but I think the Atine Ensemble of Iranian women musicians in France is very talented. http://www.rhythmpassport.com/discover/daily-discoveries/daily-discovery-atine-ey-tir/
