Art Of Digging w/ Azim Fathi  - 6th August 2025

Step into a time machine of sound with Echoes of Iran, a special edition of Azim Fathi’s The Art of Digging on Netil Radio. For this September’s episode, Azim casts his vinyl-digging expertise toward Iran’s golden age of music—the electrifying 1960s and 1970s—unveiling a curated tapestry of spoken word, folk, funk, jazz, soul, and pop from a generation that redefined the nation’s musical soul before the revolution.

Begin the journey with Viguen, the Sultan of Jazz and the King of Iranian Pop, whose guitar-laced ballads and smooth vocal stylings set the tone for an era of musical emancipation. Move through the emotive and glamorously theatrical pop stylings of Googoosh, whose melodies and iconic fashion encapsulated the flamboyant spirit of ’70s Iranian pop culture.

You can also expect to hear the soulful sounds of Zia, alongside powerful spoken-word poetry by Ahmad Shamlou and others. The journey continues through the rich folk traditions of Iran, from the melodies of Baluchestan to the songs of the northern provinces and the shores of the Caspian Sea. Adding yet another layer of energy, we’ll dive into the vibrant world of Iran’s 1960s and 70s beat bands—including The Littles, The Golden Ring, Shaghayegh, Big Boys, and many more—whose raw spirit and youthful drive captured the pulse of a generation.

Allow the narrative to deepen with Ramesh, whose genre-spanning repertoire—rock, jazz, and pop—represents the versatility and sophistication of her era. Then, let the upbeat energy of Shahram Shabpareh, a trailblazer in Iranian dance and pop music and founder of the Black Cats, elevate the groove.

The ride crescendos with the cosmic psychedelia of Kourosh Yaghmaei, the “Godfather of Iranian Psychedelic Rock.” His landmark hit “Gol-e Yakh” remains a sonic touchstone, merging folk sensibilities with the heady vibes of progressive rock.

Through vibrant narratives and carefully selected tracks, Echoes of Iran invites listeners to reconnect with a vanished cultural moment—an Iran pulsing with creativity, experimentation, and profound artistic expression. Join Azim Fathi on September [insert date], as he revives timeless tracks that resonate with nostalgia, groove, and a uniquely Persian soul.
