about

Dream is a collection of stylistically expansive renditions of the Golden Age of Persian Pop Classics, pre-1979 Iranian Revolution.

It features songs from trailblazing Iranian women like Ramesh who originally performed and recorded these songs during the era when women were allowed to sing as soloists.

With this new album, Mitra Sumara draws attention to the fact that women singers in Iran today risk arrest if they sing as soloists before a mixed audience. It also celebrates the time when Iranian women once enjoyed greater social freedoms and sheds light on the politics of women who were in visible leadership roles in the arts and public life.

This recording was brought to light with the support from: The NYC Women’s Fund for Media, Music and Theater by the City of New York Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment in association with The New York Foundation for the Arts.
