Maryam Akhondy & Banu - Four songs in brief

Banu (Persian word for noble lady or distinguished lady) is a kind of musical expedition to the different regions and cultures of Iran. It gives an informative view of the singing culture and self-confidence of the Persian women. Most of these songs are full of live and energy, being accompanied by various percussion-instruments. This is quite unusual for Iranian music which is often more serene and melancholic. But these old folk-songs are funny, ironic and give a view on the Iranian woman when she is in private.

Maryam Akhondy made it her business to bring traditional women's songs back to life again. Over years she has been collecting songs. With these songs she wants to give a voice to the Persian women, who were not present with there songs on the stages of the concert-halls and music-festivals until now.
