Description

Explore the evolution of Iranian music through this scholarly work from Routledge. This book examines the complex history of the motrebi milieu, tracing how the term shifted from its Arabic roots in taraba to being associated with lowbrow entertainment. Authors GJ Breyley and Sasan Fatemi look at the lives of marginalized characters like the luti, gardan koloft, and mashti, documenting how these performers maintained their careers despite social challenges. The text also provides a detailed look at losanjelesi, which stands as the most pervasive form of Iranian popular music. For students of Iranian studies, music history, or pop culture, this book offers a deep look into the social dynamics of performance and the tenacity of entertainers across different eras. It is an essential resource for understanding the transition from traditional motrebi styles to the widespread influence of modern popular music in the region.
