Iraj Funeral Ceremony: Artists Gather to Pay Tribute to Singing Legend Hossein Khajeh Amiri
Iraj’s Place Among Iranian Singers
Any discussion of the great Iranian singers eventually includes names from several generations.
Artists such as Mohammad-Reza Shajarian, Akbar Golpayegani (Golpa), Nader Golchin, Mahmoud Khoushnam, Salar Aghili and many others represent different periods and styles of Iranian vocal music.
Iraj occupies a distinctive position within this history.
He belonged to an earlier generation and developed his reputation during a period when radio and cinema were central mechanisms for musical distribution.
His career therefore provides a link between older Persian vocal traditions and the modern mass-media era.
