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 started his professional work in 1971 with the film “Adamak” by Khosrow Haritash. “Adamak” was done by Touraj Shaabankhani and the vocals were by Foroughi.
Born in Tehran in 1941, he grew up in a time of rapid social change, absorbing both traditional Persian culture and emerging Western influences. This blend of cultural exposure shaped his unique musical identity, which fused rock, blues, and soul with the poetic sensibility of Persian lyricism. Foroughi’s music stood out for its deep, expressive vocals and intricate arrangements. Unlike many of his contemporaries, he infused his songs with raw emotion, often conveying melancholy, longing, and introspection.
