context_page_description: Iranian rock refers to rock music produced by Iranian artists. Rock music has been popular in Iran since the late forties, with the emergence of singers such as Kourosh Yaghmaei, Farhad Mehrad, Fereydoon Foroughi and Habib Mohebian, but was largely forgotten after the Cultural Revolution. Like most rock styles, electric guitar and bass guitar and drums are the main instruments in this type of music. In some groups, the keyboard also has the task of adjusting the rhythms and symbols.
  Iranian rock music is influenced by English rock, American rock and European styles. Because of the Iranian performers of this music, all kinds of Iranian rhythms and tones in this genre are separated from other rock genres. Iranian rock is not yet recognized as a legal style in Iran. Most bands and singers of this genre operate underground. The movie "No One Knows About Persian Cats" is about this.
  Iranian rock began in Iran as British Invasion began. The Beatles, Dave Clark Five, Bill Haley & His Comets, and later Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple, had a great impact on Iranian rock.
context_section_description: Kaveh Yaghmaei was one of the few Iranian rock singers who worked after the revolution with the official permission of the Ministry of Guidance and even held a concert in 1994 that was called the first Iranian rock concert after the revolution. Although Kaveh Yaghma'i's works did not reach the level of his father Kourosh' works, he somehow resurrected Iranian rock music. Kaveh Yaghmaei is not very active in rock music and has released only three albums so far.
