While George, Dick, Condi, Karl, Hillary, Obama, Ahmadinejad, and most of the rest of the current presidential candidates rattle the sabers and beat the drums of ugly war, art and music spread the message of love and beauty. Through art and music comes understanding. With understanding comes tolerance. With tolerance comes peace. Through peace comes love.
Tonight I am offering a taste of Iranian music and art in hopes of spreading a little of that peace and understanding.
Not knowing the Persian language I am at the mercy of the people who posted the videos. Please excuse me if I’ve made errors in the titles or artists and feel free to help fill in the blanks if you can.
