Dr. Safvat's story about reemergence of true traditional music is that some radicals came to his office at Tehran University to beat him up for teaching and playing music. He asked them to take a tape of his philosophy on music and religion to Khomeini who listened to the tape and then appointed Safvat to be in charge of music because of his saintly humility and deep understanding. Thus bad pop was temporarily replaced by true tradition; something we had all fought for in the 1970s. Dr. L.Miller

That's not true. This is traditional music and it's played all over the country. What's not allowed is women exposing their hair while playing instruments and singing solo. Check out bands like Arian Band, Rastaak, which all feature really great female perfomers with covered hair.

@andishmandan No no, it's only certain traditional music that has roots in the Islamic tradition that are promoted, but those pieces that are pagan (i.e the real Iranian stuff) is banned, and you get imprisoned if you perform them. But at times the government let people do it because the pressure from the people is so high, but if it was up to the rulers and the mullahs all of it would be banned.

@ihatekhomeini @ihatekhomeini hmmm.. NO. today this music is promoted by the goverment in iran. it is western music that is discouraged.
