Fereydoon Foroughi (1951 – 2001) He contributed greatly to persian music and arts and his unique voice and style soon caught on with the people. In addition to his studies in acting, playing the guitar, piano and organ he also composed music. His style was inspired by jazz and blues.

He once famously conveyed, through his music and interviews, that an artist’s duty is to express truth and emotion, even if it comes with personal or professional risk. This integrity is one reason his music continues to resonate so strongly. Fereydoon Foroughi’s music has not only survived decades of social and political change but has grown in popularity posthumously.
