Among other “politically charged” songs, Hala,” written by the poet Mina Assadi and produced by Esfandiar Monfaredzadeh, was sung by Ebi in 1999 about the brutality of the regime and the possibility for the people to rise again. He called this song his most important political song in an interview with the TV channel Manoto in 2013. In 2009, Ebi again commented on the domestic politics of Iran by singing the song “Tasmim” (Decision) as a response to the 2009 presidential election.
