About Track:
"Baharan Khojasteh Bad” or “Blessed Spring" is the name of one of the first and one of the most famous revolutionary hymns that was broadcast on Iranian radio and television after the 1979 revolution and the fall of the imperial system (Pahlavi regime) in commemoration of the anniversary of the return of Khomeini to Iran. During the first 40 days following the death of Mahsa Amini on September 16th 2022 many hymns and revolutionary songs were written in support of the uprising and the Woman, Life, Freedom movement that called for a revolution against the islamic regime and the end of gender apartheid and freedom. One of these songs was a cover of "Baharan Khojasteh Bad" which conserved the melody but changed the lyrics to chant the names of the girl's like Mahsa Amini and Nika Shakarami who's tragic death symbolize the true fascist and myogenic face of the regime. The new cover also chants the name of Vida Movahed who sparked anti-hijab protests in Iran in 2018 by waving her white scarf like a flag. I fell in love with this cover because not only did it honor the young girls and women who were at the forefront of this revolution but it also put a hand on the 1979 revolution which was hiijacked from it’s democratic course to reappropriate it. So I chose to work this song and named it “Be Mahsa, Be Nika” which means “In the name of Mahsa, in the name of Nika”.This revolution is accompanied by horrific acts of violence and torture on behalf of the Iranian regime, the news of which we follow on social media everyday. I thought it necessary to make a track to honour the bravery of the iranian people who are fighting this regime and fuel it with powerful and uplifting energy. It deliberately sounds as if I m singing through a megaphone during a protest. Something simple and innocent about the beat keeps it light. Only with light can we defy this darkness… Woman, Life, Freedom.
