Description of persian rock music
Persian rock music is a genre of rock music that emerged in Iran in the late 1960s and early 1970s. It was heavily influenced by Western rock music and fused with Iranian traditional and folk music, creating a unique sound that combined electric guitars, bass, and drums with traditional Iranian instruments such as the tar, santur, and oud. Some of the early pioneers of Persian rock music were bands such as Kourosh Yaghmaei, Googoosh, and Arian, who gained popularity in Iran during the pre-revolutionary era. Despite facing censorship and persecution by the authorities, Persian rock music has continued to evolve and thrive, with many young musicians experimenting with new styles and sounds.
