Liraz

The queen of Persian electro-pop Liraz will perform for the first time in Bucharest – Saturday, September 21 at Control Club – as part of DokStation Music Documentary Film Festival’s 8th edition.

Singer, songwriter and actress Liraz has taken her shimmering electro-pop underground. She’s turned it into something dangerous and even more beautiful than before.

The new third album from award-winning Israeli-Persian singer Liraz is an invitation to dream. Anthems, love ballads, glittery Middle Eastern dance tunes… a collection of 11 tracks that enrich that signature blend of tradi-modern rhythms and retro-Persian sonics, Roya (‘fantasy’ in Farsi) is music as a magic portal, an arched gateway to a place of peace, joy and unfettered, chador-waving freedom.

“With its combination of traditional Persian instruments, primitive electronics and Liraz’s dramatic delivery in Farsi, ‘Zan’ is a glimpse into another world.” – The Times

“Filled with electro-dance tracks that revive and remix a 1970s era remembered for a lively Iranian pop scene.” – The Guardian

“A mix of bleeding-edge warped pop and traditional Persian instruments and, in some cases, melodies.” – Financial Times
