HAYEDEH... A Documentary on her 20th Death Anniversary

20th January 2010, marks the 20th death anniversary of Hayedeh, one of the most beloved Persian singers.

Hayedeh passed away at the age of 47 by heart attack in California. Even twenty years after her death the diva's songs are still popular among the Persian speakers.

I was deeply impressed by her voice since my childhood. Finally I came to this coclusion that I should do something in return for her.

The documentary "Hayedeh: Legendary Persian Diva" is the result of my love to this warm and passionate voice.

The film was screened at various festivals in both US and Europe in 2009, but it will be released on DVD on Hayedeh's 20th death anniversary. Although I think she never died.

For the fans I gathered all infomation about this project in both English and Persian on the website: wwww.HayedehDocumentary.com

I tried my best to do something great for our legendary diva and the only thing I want is no one would illegally copy this independent project. That is my only request; otherwise we can never continue working on Persian artistic projects in exile.

حیف آن لب‌های زیبا نیست که آنها را به این لفظ زشت آلوده میکنید،
این جور حرف زدن برازنده شما نیست، مال رقاصه‌های خیابون سیروسه که با "
کلاه شاپو " میرفتن.... ...غلط می‌کنن اونها ئی‌ که فکر می‌کنن والده
محترمه شما بجای صرف وقت برای تربیت شما، بیست و چهار ساعته تو کوچه برلن
پلاس بوده؛ من مطمئنم که ایشان تلاش خودشان را کردند منتها استعداد‌ها فرق
میکنه.

Hayedeh meant a lot to many of us in the late 80's because those songs she did then talked about our pain and confusion from becoming suddenly landless expats.

I wonder if this very young person who has put together this dvd knows or understands really her significance.

Pars Video had already released years ago Hayedeh's London concert with a live symphony on DVD in good quality.

I guess the value of this new DVD is more in the interviews with Andranik and Manouchehr Bibian.

Given that the owner of some of the original footage is in fact Mr. Bibian I am guessing that at least his material has been properly licensed from him, since he is also interviewed.

But it is getting a bit annoying lately to see all these supposed documentaries that are coming out using footage and audio produced by others without permission and then calling it their own.

I bought two DVD documentaries on iranian singers and they were both horrendous. One was that one on Googoosh which force depicts her in a way that does not show her true power and then the other one was one on Foroughi which had some rare colour footage of movies I've seen in black and white, but the commentaries from her wife were annoying as they appeared naive musically.

marhoom Hayedeh

by MM on Tue Jan 19, 2010 11:55 AM PST

I heard that in the begining of IRI when voting was forced and the people did not like the candidates, they put down "marhoom hayedeh" as their choice of candidate.

I have most of her songs but some of my favorites are also the duos she did, e.g., Bazme Hayedeh va Golpa and Afsaneye shirin (Hayedeh va Shajarian).

Bless her soul.

Hayedeh is being played over and over again in Iran.

by Anonymouse on Tue Jan 19, 2010 11:31 AM PST

I think she had the best vocals in Iranian music.  I'd choose Shajarian as second.  Of course 2 different styles.

I chartered a "cab" or ajans as they call it for a road trip and the driver played Hayedeh over and over again.  Among my own family, there are people who play her often when they didn't before during Shah.

She is the greatest! 

Everything is sacred.
