The radio program "Listen to Me..." is an effort to introduce a genre of folk music that is distanced from the mainstream music industry and market. Therefore, access to it may be difficult (especially in Iran) and it may have fewer opportunities to be heard. The upcoming series will aim to provide an educational yet entertaining look at various styles of folk music in recent decades. Each episode will focus on a composer or music group, explaining the sound characteristics and the factors shaping the style or method of their works. After the first series, which examined electronic folk music, the upcoming season will focus on guitar-driven "rock" music. "Listen to Me..." is the work of Iranian composer and sound and image artist Bijan Mousavi and will be aired on the "Fardahang" program of Radio Farda every Thursday at 8:30 PM Tehran time.
Listen to Me... Season Two
The radio program "Listen to Me..." is returning for a second season, focusing on guitar-driven rock music. It aims to introduce lesser-known folk music genres to audiences, particularly in Iran. This initiative is significant for promoting diverse musical expressions that are often overlooked in the mainstream.
