Baraye - A haunting Iranian song written & song by Shervin Hajipour after the death of Mahsa Amini
You tube ^

Posted on 01/11/2023 4:41:15 PM PST by nuconvert

The song "Baraye" (For) was written & performed by Shervin Hajipour in response to Mahsa Amini’s murder by the Iranian morality police, and the protests sparked by it. Iranians around the world posted Tweets with the word “Baraye” followed by their reasons for protesting against the regime. (baraye azadi = for freedom).

Shervin gathered messages from tweets and wrote the song. It has become an anthem at protest gatherings against the Iranian regime around the world.

2 days after the release of the song in Sept., Shervin was arrested and the song removed from Iranian controlled websites. He has since been released, after a forced confession and order to stop performing.

Thousands wrote to the Recording Academy to have the song nominated for a Grammy. It doesn't meet their qualifications, but has been considered for a Special Merit Award.
