Some new Photos of the 85 year old singer “Hooshmand Aghili” in the U.S.
Houshmand Aghili, a renowned singer whose name is synonymous with enduring songs, passed away in the United States at the age of 88. For many Iranian music enthusiasts, his death signifies not only the loss of a talented artist but also brings to mind a deeper sorrow: the continued exile of Iran’s golden generation of pop and folk musicians. Aghili’s passing outside Iran underscores a poignant reality—the migration of beloved artists and their eventual deaths in exile.
Most of the prominent singers from the 1940s and 1950s left Iran following the 1978 revolution, seeking new lives abroad. Many settled in the United States, where they spent their final years and eventually passed away. This migration has created a significant cultural void within Iran, leaving fans with a sense of longing and regret. It is a collective lament that these celebrated voices, which once filled Iran with melodies and memories, are now buried in distant lands—far from the people who cherished their music and lived with their songs.
