This is a sincere and noble tribute to an artist. You capture thr quality of her performance which clerly fulfills thr expectations of Iranians ears, but beyond her musical excellence is her persecution by those who do not trust art. It's sad she to leaved thr land and people who inspired her art to find thr safety to perform her music f-r-e-e-l-y. A nd artists over the globe need freedom to be creative. I have several cds of Iranian music including Shahram Nazeri singing inspired by Rumi poems and the Dastan Ensemble singing poems of contemporary poets. It took me about three listens for the beauty to percolate and give me JOY!
