## Contemporar Persie Pop in Iran

In the 1990s, Iranian offeecials decidit tae produce an promote a "decent" pop muisic tae compete wi the informal mainstream Persie pop muisic, maistly producit in Californie (sae-cried "LA-type" muisic). Ali Moallem (a poet) an Fereydoun Shahbazian (a  muisicker) heidit a cooncil at IRIB that supervisit the revival o domestic pop muisic. Sangsters sic as Shadmehr Aghili, Bijan Mortazavi Khashayar Etemadi, Mohammad Isfahani, wur amang the first sangsters who got significant support, includin promotion bi naitional TV, tae produce new pop sangs. Domestic pop muisic receivit a wairm walcome bi mony fowk, while it wis creeticisit bi the elites as "superficial muiic" (in the sense o leerics, muisic, an the cultural impact). Unhappy wi common trends, Shahbazian decidit tae quit an offeecially join the creetics o this muisic efter a while.

Pop muisic in Iran is subject tae strict regulation. A permit frae the Iranian Meenistry o Cultur an Islamic Guidance (kent as Ershaad an aw) is needit tae perform or publish muisic. Offeecially, thare is a three-year waitin period for each album tae get a permit. Thay eventually got it.

As a result o easin cultural restrictions athin Iran unner preses Mohammad Khatami, a nummer o Persie pop sangsters hae emergit frae athin the kintra. Iver syne the current admeenistration teuk office, the Meenistry o Cultur an Islamic Guidance haes adoptit a different policy, mainly tae mak it easier tae monitor the industrie. The new policy includit loosenin restrictions for a smaw nummer o airtists, while tichtenin it for the rest. Even tho it haes acome mair difficult for airtists tae get an album permit, the nummer o album releases haes increased nanetheless. This is acause airtists hae stairtin askin permits for thair next album, even if thay hae no received ane for thair previous album yet.

At the end o 2009, Sirvan Khosravi wis the first (domestic) Iranian airtist tae get heich-rotation airplay on a regular radio station in Europe. He made his debut wi the title sang o his seicont album Saate 9, which made headlines in the Iranian on-line media an aw. Late August 2010, Farzad Farzin made his European chairt debut wi the seicont sang Chikeh Chikeh frae his third legal album Shaans. Sirvan Khosravi made a No.1 hit wi the sang "Na Naro" for the seicont time in 2012 on the FunX Radio Station.
