I’m sitting here in my own world of music, remembering my favorites, Banaan, Shajarian, and Naazeri… to Googoosh, Ebi , Aslaani and Darioush and suddenly I’m exposed to a new music! My wife, an American, has introduced me to music that I enjoy a lot, from the Blues to classic rock ‘n roll. I’ve exposed her to my favorites as well! One look at my music collection and you’d wonder what the heck IS my taste. From Banaan to Yanni to Steve Ray Vaughn and now to Kiosk. As I’m reading my Payam-e-ashena magazine, I happen upon an article about Kiosk. I say to myself… “ok, who are these guys… what are they saying…”. My wife, who not only loves music to the max herself and has her own personal favorites, also loves Persian music…probably because of me but what does that matter! So we’re reading this article about Kiosk and how they have been influenced by Dire Straits and Bob Dylan, who I’ve heard of but not really familiar with, and she say’s “let me show you a little of their music”. I recognize a few songs and think to myself…”I like this!”. So she takes it a step further and goes to I-tunes and downloads a few of Kiosk’s songs. And WE’RE hooked!!!! Give them a try! They are fresh… incredibly talented and DIFFERENT… and thoroughly enjoyable. These very talented and young artists are trying to express themselves in today’s world and need and deserve our support. I promise that you will not be disappointed!
Remember, these are young people who grew up under music restrictions, not having the opportunity under the IRI to listen to or even express their own sense of being. What a positive and encouraging voice for our future! Long live talent, creativity, and performance!!!

to Nice Music
by Tonya (not verified) on Sun Oct 07, 2007 10:49 PM PDTI recently took my husband to LA for the Naazeriaan concert for his birthday. It was, as he explained to me, very traditional Persian music. The band consisted of all western instruments except for one (setaar). While not my personal favorite, it was extremely moving and emotional for him (and everyone else there too!). As we said in the blog, we have a pretty large range of music. And yeah, we like a little Dean Martin too! But this stuff... man, it is awesome! Yes, it IS rock n' roll... but what a message they had... especially considering they are young people. It's very exciting stuff. In fact, they are in concert this weekend during the Mehregaan festival in OC and we hope to go. But.... I have to tell you... your comment about making your hemorrhoids vibrate almost made me pee in my pants...LOL. Check it out... even Dean and Frank enjoyed a little new stuff and believe you me... Kiosk's music is not "vang vang - e kamanche".
Dear Tonya
by Nice Music (not verified) on Sun Oct 07, 2007 08:22 PM PDTForgive me for my broken Farsi. It's been almost 30 years since I have listened to Iranian music. Iranian muscial instruments such as Kamooncheh, tar, and donbehak have strange sounds that make my hemorrhoids vibrate.
I am into Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra. Please watch this:

PS... What's a diff? Dambooli, Dumpooli, they all mean the same!?
TO "nice music"
by Tonya (not verified) on Sun Oct 07, 2007 08:02 PM PDTWith all due respect my friend but, what Andy Williams' music has to do with KIOSK music ?
In other words : how MR.GOODARZI is related to MR. SHAGHAAYEGHI ?
And with an open mind listen to KIOSK first before you call that a "DAMBOOLI" (CORRECT TERM fyi)
Listen to and watch this

Now, that's called a nice music not the dumbali_kossak you listen to, called Iranian music!
