Kourosh Yaghmaei...banned music in Iran.

from the movie worldwide famous ..Tzarens kureer or Michael Strogof..the song was in the persian version ..memories for many ,i love his voice .R,I,P
Kourosh Yaghmaei was 10 when his father gave him a gift that revealed his talent for music. It was a Santour (The Persian Traditional string-percussive /Dulcimer). According to his mother, when he opened his present, after a few tries, he started to play a tune. Not to mention that he had never touched a Santour before. After 5 years of practice he gained precious knowledge of Iranian traditional music along with excellent skills in playing Santour.

At the age of 15 he chose to play the guitar, which he has always loved. He gathered his own Pop/Rock bands which he both composed for and played in. He mostly played the lead guitar. In fact Kourosh introduced Rock music to Iran with a Pop formation of songs. At that time he received several tempting offers from Western musicians and bands' managers to join them. In his senior year as a Social Science student at the Iran National University (DANESHGHAH-e MELLI-e IRAN), Kourosh released his first single hit GOL-e YAKH. The poem was written by his classmate, now-famous poet Mahdi Akhavan Langeroudi. This memorable love song led him to worldwide fame. He orchestrated, composed, played and sang the song. The song received international attention. It was re-played and sang in several other languages by their local musicians.
His voice was banned for 17 years after 1979. In these years he published children stories on books and cassettes. He released an instrumental album called DIYAAR (Homeland). It was an orchestration of endemic songs for Grand National Orchestra. He also took some guitar students. His first album SIB-e NOGHRE'EE (Silvery Apple) was released after the ban was lifted. His picture was only allowed to be printed in his albums after 24 years. It has to be noted that Kourosh has learnt all different aspects of music without having any music teacher or instructor.

I think it was composed by Vladimir Cosma.

However, this is also lovely.

Is this song originally Iranian or was Vladimir Cosma the original composer?

[TheZibatarinMoosighi]

@TheFRAYDON :( im sorry for that :(

@whenpianostrytobe You are right, and this is tribute song, he was inspired by the movie series Michael Strogof which got broadcasted in 1979 on Iranian TV.

@TheZibatarinMoosighi We love Barış Manço the same way in Turkey. I understand how it is :)

But there is not much on the internet in English, it is the same information. I didn't even know he had passed away. But I am very glad that I discovered him. He has a very distinctive voice and a very unique music.
