Eugene Middle East Peace Group

This song will be performed LIVE in the Feast for Middle East Peace in Eugene, Oregon on Sunday, April 13 2008, as part of Spring Renewal and Celebration

The song, commissioned by the organization Peace Child Israel, was arranged by Israeli composer, songwriter and singer Shlomo Gronich. Sung in both Hebrew and Arabic, this beautiful, Middle-Eastern melody has the power to heal and transform Arab and Jewish communities. ]]> http://www.imagemosaic.com/1387/2008/04/happy_new_spring_from.html http://www.imagemosaic.com/1387/2008/04/happy_new_spring_from.html USA - North West Fri, 11 Apr 2008 19:42:10 +0000  

As part of US tour, 127, one of Tehran's underground music band performed at Blake's Berkeley California. One may say 127 is a fusion between SKA, Jazz, and Rock, like that they are trying to do a cross over – from Persian/Farsi to English - album, truly impressed with the pianist and really missed their drummer after listening to their CD. 

The spring vernal equinox, Norooz, the Persian (Iranian) New Year, celebrated for several millennia in the ancestral motherland, Iran, was once again showcased with an extravagant parade in New York City by Iranian-Americans. Tens of thousands of participants and spectators enjoyed with much nostalgia the procession of beautifully decorated floats, ensembles of dancers and musicians, archaeological perspectives of Persepolis, Passargade, and Tehran's Shahyad monuments, dignitaries and grand marshals, civic leaders, DJs, and the waving American and Iranian flags and banners.

The dueling lion and bull is a symbol of harmony and transition during the Persian New Year, No Ruz, the representation of two powerful and opposing forces as they embrace as one on the vernal equinox each spring. Nature’s grace and brute in accord with one another is an apt metaphor for the quality expressed here between Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz.

The first Norouz parade was held on Market street in downtown San Jose, California on Sunday March 30.

We extend best wishes to the people of Iran for a festive SeezDeh Bedar. The beginning of the new year, which we marked thirteen days ago on Nowruz, has given us an opportunity to examine the events of the past year, as well as look hopefully toward what the future will bring.

She says

The verb "to love" in Persian is "to have a friend." "I love you" translated literally is "I have you as a friend," and "I don't like you" simply means "I don't have you as a friend."  
 Of all the musical instruments the human voice is the most beautiful, for it is made by God.  "These are the happiest days of my life"

 I need to support the expansion of Iranian.com for helping to keep Shusha and other artists alive on the net.
