***Zendooni celebrates a time when pop artists in Iran ruled the country. During the ‘70s, before the Revolution, Occidental and Middle East mannerisms collided and the result was a new kind of Iranian Pop which incorpotated different genres and arrangements to its Persian roots. Touches of funk, jazz, Latin, bossa, progressive-psychedelic sounds and Morricone / Blaxploitation styled soundtracks can be heard on this collection, culled from miraculously survived vinyl and cassettes. A surreal voyage back to the Golden Age of Persian Pop. A vibrant time when female singers like Nooshafarin, AZITA, POURAN or RAMESH appeared in colourful teen mags dressed in full hippie fashion. We are proud to present for the first time to Western ears amazing examples of Persian psych-prog like "Safar" by HASSAN SHAMALZADEH and "Vi Bafa" by KAMBIZ; Persian funk by Azita, NOOSHAFARIN, EMAD RAAM, POONEH; Bollywod styled sounds by AHMAD WALI & HANGAMA and much more. Remastered sound, color insert with pictures and detailed liner notes. LP printed on 350-gram carton cover, with inner plastic paperbag, inserts, & liner notes. CD comes with color booklet and one bonus track.
