about

"Rangarang" is a compilation of forgotten jewels from pre-revolutionary Iran. These songs tell the stories of an artisan community that flourished during the 1960s and 1970s before vanishing into oblivion. The pop stars who stayed in Iran were summonsed to the revolutionary court and forced to sign a declaration promising to abandon their careers and never perform again. By the time an exilic music industry had been established in Los Angeles, where many musicians settled after fleeing the chaotic disarray of post-revolutionary war-torn Iran, the beats and melodies of the monarchist era had given way to the synthesizers of the 1980s and Iranian pop music would never be the same again. The range of the tracks included on "Rangarang" is astonishing, from funky workouts and soulful pop to jazzy grooves and yearning ballads, all wonderfully and imaginatively produced and arranged, giving shape to truly popular music.

----------------------------------------------------------

“Rangarang” es una colección de joyas olvidadas del Irán anterior a la revolución. Estas canciones cuentan las historias de una comunidad artística que floreció durante los años 60 y 70 antes de caer en el olvido. Las estrellas del pop que permanecieron en Irán fueron obligadas por la corte revolucionaria a firmar una declaración prometiendo abandonar sus carreras y no volver a actuar de nuevo. Cuando una industria musical en el exilio se estableció en Los Ángeles, donde muchos músicos se asentaron al huir del caos en Irán tras la revolución, los ritmos y melodías de la época monárquica habían dado paso a los sintetizadores de los 80 y la música pop iraní jamás volvería a ser la misma. El abanico de temas incluido en “Rangarang” es asombroso, desde ritmos funk y soulful pop a desarrollos de carácter jazz y sentidas baladas, todos producidos y arreglados impecablemente y de forma imaginativa, dando forma a música verdaderamente popular.
