Pre-WV124:

Iran, also known as Persia officially the Islamic Republic of Iran, is a country in Western Asia. It is bordered to the northwest by Armenia, the de facto independent Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, and Azerbaijan; with Kazakhstan and Russia across the Caspian Sea; to the northeast by Turkmenistan; to the east by Afghanistan and Pakistan; to the south by the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman; and to the west by Turkey and Iraq. Comprising a land area of 1,648,195 km2, it is the second-largest nation in the Middle East and the 18th-largest in the world; with 78.4 million inhabitants, Iran is the world's 17th most populous nation. It is the only country that has both a Caspian Sea and an Indian Ocean coastline. Iran has long been of geostrategic importance because of its central location in Eurasia and Western Asia, and its proximity to the Strait of Hormuz.

tl;dr: We got oil.

Welcome Iran I'd like to see Niyaz and Azam Ali

 

[Charly]

Azam Ali & Niyaz participated in our Festival Mawazine last year

 

[CypriotGirl]

No, no Arash please. I mean I like his songs and all, but he's well known around Europe, and I'd like to hear other Iranian artists, who aren't as known

Agree with this, although he could send something from Arash that is not so well known or over-played (I'm sooooooo against sending overplayed stuff in online contests, I can't stand it )

 

[Amir]

it only makes sense I think
tomorrow all the songs are revealed, right?

 

[DannyDS]

I quite like Shohreh & Susan Roshan

Could you consider them for one of the future editions?

sure, but only if Iran doesn't become last, cause then Iran will be miffed like Morocco haha

 

[CypriotGirl]

The deadline is on Monday, and we'll have live presentation of SF1 songs most probably on Tuesday, at the livestream channel of the contest

 

[Amir]

Ok, so I posted the song again!

I have hope it won't be an embarrassing debut haha

Re: Iran ~The Ways feat. Nikaeen - Zamin~

If I participate next time, should I make a NF to decide a song?

If you don't include anything by Arash, Akon etc. ...

Re: Iran ~The Ways feat. Nikaeen - Zamin~

haha nooo, i don't think so. I would rather want to chose unknown songs and artists
