The Persian Underground

Behzad Bolour of the BBC’s Persian Service talks to the Iranian musicians and singers finding ways of breaking the restrictions on the public performance of music and songs inside Iran. He meets Iranian exiles rapping in Dubai, Iranian heavy metal bands in Georgia and Iranian exiles elsewhere finding freedom of expression through pop, rap, heavy metal music and fashion.
