Center interns Naazley Boozari and Samira Singleton guest host part two of our fifth episode, "Sounds of the Diaspora: Persian Pop in Tehrangeles" with Dr. Farzaneh Hemmasi, Associate Professor of Ethnomusicology at the University of Toronto and author of "Tehrangeles Dreaming: Intimacy and Imagination in Southern California's Iranian Pop Music," along with music archivist, co-curator of the compilation record Pomegranates, and professor, Arash Saedinia (Los Angeles City College). This fascinating episode explores the soundtrack of Iranian immigration, particularly in Los Angeles, before, during, and after the 1979 revolution. Our guests also discuss the ways that Persian pop music and its icons have shaped a generation, as well as how Persian pop in "Tehrangeles" has influenced music produced within Iran.
