A different memory from “Satishah” and its margins/ I was a cheltike ball as a child! – Mehr news agency Iran and world’s news
Mehr News Agency – Art Group – Alireza Saidi: The function of the title is something similar to a book cover, whose designer tries to inform the audience of a work by selecting elements, forms and arrangements with the help of graphics and music. The conditions that he presents to the audience are sometimes very careful, thoughtful and calculated, and sometimes they are made so coldly and based on the fulfillment of a mandatory task that they take the viewer away from the basis of a visual work.
What became an excuse to return to the keyword “credits” once again is a review of the most lasting and memorable music related to some programs and movies and television works, which for many audiences include bitter and sweet memories, and refer to them again for us every Circumstances can bring a world of memories. The memory game, which after its launch and publication in Nowruz, was welcomed by 1400 audiences, prompted us to entrust our souls and minds to it in the form of a weekly memory game on Fridays every week, and from its passage to the years when we are better than these troubled days. It was, let’s go.
“Memories with lasting titles” is the title of a series of archival reports with the same approach, which you can follow on a weekly basis in the art group of Mehr News Agency.
In the 85th issue of this media narrative, we went to the music of the opening and closing credits of the third season of the television series “Praise” directed and sung by Ashkan Kamangari and Shahab Mozafari, which, although it faced criticism in various areas, but in its own way, Among them was the title track music, which became one of the lasting title tracks of Sima’s story series in the nineties due to the story theme of the series and the mood that brought the audience with it.
If we want to take a look at the whole of what was presented to the audience about the “Sataish” series, we should explain that the “Sataish” series is the name of a television series written by Saeed Melabi and directed by Saeed Satani, which according to the director and some of the actors Goya collection, its design was based on an idea of the late Iraj Qadri. Meanwhile, some consider this collection to be an adaptation of the movie “The Fifth Reaction” directed by Tehmine Milani, which is also interesting.
The narrative that was produced and broadcast from the story of “Praise” for the audience consisted of three chapters, the first part of which was produced and broadcast in 2008 and ended in November of 2010. The production of the second season of the series also started in 2011 and its broadcast ended in February of 2012, and the audience’s acceptance of the previous two seasons caused the third season of the series to start after a long gap from the previous two seasons in 2017 and end in November of 2018.

“Sataish” series narrates the story of a young girl named Sataish who seeks refuge with her brother’s friend Tahir Ferdous to save her brother from the danger that threatens him after he escapes from military service and makes arrangements to send her brother to the border, but It seems that Sataish’s brother Mohammad was killed at the border and Tahir was imprisoned. A story that is just the beginning of a long story that will be presented to the audience during many episodes of the series, like Turkish series, and whether it is good or bad, it is facing an exemplary and strange popularity among different sections of the society.
A dramatic confrontation arising from the mood of people who try to present to the audience an atmosphere based on a story that includes various behavioral components in the context of an Iranian society, which was able to become a It became one of the most popular TV series in the last decade. A space that definitely, from the creation of the soundtrack to the title music, can be one of the turning points of the singers’ activities, whose works being seen in the title music will double their popularity and can create the conditions to cross the hundred-year mark overnight.
From the very beginning, when the “Sataish” series was presented to the audience, numerous sidelines were raised along with the broadcast of this popular series in the media and later on in the virtual space, small and large sidelines, each of which was able to emerge at times. Problems for the creators of the series and also a component to become famous for a series that was very well received at the time of broadcast and created conditions for the media to focus more on this series.
Many activists in the field of music and serial production know that the story of title music in serials and movies is not similar to what was done in the past decades only due to factors such as the ability of singers, composers and songwriters, and it is the economic system of Iranian music that in this The framework can play a decisive role A condition that parts of it also spread to the title music and caused many singers to want to participate in this part of the series. A space where God is the world. What was the process of choosing Ashkan Kamangari, a young and beautiful singer of Iranian music, as the singer of the opening credits and Shahab Mozafari, a popular singer of pop music, as the singer of the end credits of the work.
The fact that we say God is All-Knowing is due to the process that takes place over the years regarding the selection of singers during the creation of the title track music. Because the story has been directed in such a direction that huge sums of money are exchanged even for the presence of a certain singer or songwriter in the music of the titles. Sazi know that the story of music titles in series and movies is not similar to what happened in the past decades only because of the ability of singers, composers and songwriters, and it is the economic system of Iranian music that can play a decisive role in this context. .
Pathology and research about what is happening around the music of the titles in these years requires a detailed investigation that should be focused on in the process of providing and producing musical works in Iran.
Leaving aside these, naturally this was the title music of the third season of the “Sataish” series, which was able to represent the third season in its stature, which was presented to the audience after years of airing the first and second seasons of the series, the title music that Its opening was presented to the audience in the mood of Iranian music and the voice of a singer such as Ashkan Kamangari with a background of Iranian instrumental music and the end credits music was completely different from the opening music with the voice of Shahab Mozafari, one of the Iranian pop music singers.
Ashkan Kamangari, an Iranian music singer, who these days is also a special judge of the musical program “Homohang” on the Nasim channel, recently talked to Mehr reporter about his presence in singing the opening credits of the series “Praise 3” and said: One of the good things happened was my cooperation with Farid Saadatmand, a good composer of our country. One of these collaborations is related to the production of the piece “Razahi Magu” with a song by Mohammad Mehdi Siyar, a talented poet of our country, which was well received by the audience after being selected by the Three Sima channel for the opening credits of the television series “Praise 3”.
The singer of popular singles such as “Love has no end”, “Reh Salamat” added in another part of his speech: “I recognized Mr. Saadatmand from the music of the movie “Dilbari” and the song “Reh Salamat” or “Moj Soda” We presented this movie. But the atmosphere of this joint work progressed in such a way that more praise was seen in the series and, thank God, people also liked this work. Of course, this is a very important point that a singer, due to his contribution and effort in the field of music, can present new frames of his presence in Iranian music to the audience. They have done this.
He, who has made many efforts to introduce Iranian music to the audience as best as possible during these years, explained in another part of this conversation: I personally believe that Ashkan Kamangari is not just a platform for presenting instrumental music, because there are artists before and after me who are in this field. They provide valuable services in the arena. For this purpose, I try to experiment for myself, based on the fundamentals of Iranian music, which can attract the attention of a wider range of audiences. The production of the pieces “Epi” in the documentary film “House”, “Infinite Plains” in the album “Now a window to infinity”, “Separation Instrument”, “Reh Salamat” and “Secrets of Megu” are also a continuation of these experiences, which I hope will be of interest.
But one of the remarkable points and of course marginalization that was done for the credits music of the third season of “Praise” series was the discussion of comparing the opening credits with the ending credits of the work, which at one point caused sensitivities, a situation that Ashkan Kamangari gave an answer to. He stopped short and said: I was reading some articles in cyberspace that tried to put me in opposition to the dear artist Mr. Shahab Mozafari. While my music has a completely different world and this difference does not detract from the values of providing different types of music in the society. Therefore, I would like the conditions to be such that these margins are no longer encouraged.
About the end credits music of the third season with the voice of Shahab Mozaffari, we must say that although it contained many differences with the mood of the beginning music, due to the melody and arrangement on this piece with the tonal and sound characteristics of Shahab Mozaffari’s voice as a different singer of those days was done, it was well received by the audience like the opening credits. The melody that made the praise single for a singer like Shahab Mozafari at that time became a good launch pad for his future work. Although, in the area of the song sung by Shahab Mozafari, an atmosphere was created where some of the blind community of the country and even some critics criticized this part of the content of the song and other things raised in the text of the song.
Of course, it seems that the people involved in the production of the third season of “Praise” series chose two singers whose title music has an Iranian atmosphere and the young generation who are interested in pop music will not hear a title song. Do not be unlucky for the popular. A process that can definitely have its opponents and supporters, but whatever it is, it seems to confirm the fact that the combination of the presence of these two singers in the title of the third season has been welcomed by the audience and has become a component for recording this popular series, which is full of flaws. become the visual memory of Iranian audiences.
