From Shahab Tolouei's New Album to Saeed Dabiri's Complaints on 'House Number 13'

On Sizdah Bedar 1404, Shahab Tolouei, an Iranian musician residing in Prague known for his 'Ethnoflamenco' music, was a guest on the program 'House Number 13'. He recently released the album 'Oxymoron' (Contradictory) just before Nowruz, featuring a track titled 'Nowruzvash', which reflects the festive spirit of Nowruz while also hinting at the political events in Iran during the protests of 1401. This year's Nowruz program on Radio Farda was also inspired by the name of this song. In 'House Number 13', Tolouei performed songs from 'Oxymoron' as well as several tracks that have influenced his music, including works by Farhad, Fereydoun Foroughi, and Faramarz Aslani. Another guest on the program was Saeed Dabiri, a lyricist, composer, and music teacher in Tehran. Dabiri, known for notable songs like 'Zamestoon' sung by Afshin and 'Parandeh' sung by Googoosh, discussed his recent work, the song 'Nowruz', which he wrote to the melody of Kourosh Yaghmaei and has gained significant popularity. He boldly criticized some singers and composers who have reinterpreted or performed his works without his consent. His grievances included comments about his former colleagues Siavash Ghomeishi and Fereydoun Khoshnood, his views on the performance of the song 'Ghasideh' composed by Siavash Ghomeishi sung by Parviz Taheri, a singer associated with the Iranian state television, and his sharp criticism of Susan Roshan. 'House Number 13' is produced in collaboration with Shahram Ebrahimi.
