Margins of music in the past month

According to the art reporter of Fars news agency, music in Khordad, the month that is coming to an end, left many sidelines behind. From the banning of some singers, after a week, it became clear that there is no news of any artist’s work stop, to the cancellation of the concert at the Ministry of Interior Hall and the sidelines of Lian’s concert at the Vahdat Hall in the last two nights.

What was narrated in cyberspace and social media by some cyberspace users and activists, indicated that music has become homeless and singers are living in an atmosphere of confusion and the Ministry of Guidance is not taking any steps to solve the problems. However, less than a week later, Mohammad Allah Yari, Director General of the Music Office of the Ministry of Guidance, stated in a news published by the public relations department of the art deputy that such problems sometimes occur and this time too these issues will be resolved.

* License for 120 stage performances

Of course, he reminded that in this month of May, 120 stage performances of more than 1,200 people have received their permission from the music office, and many other concerts in Tehran and other cities of the country have received their permission from the administration of the provinces.

It goes without saying that some of the so-called banned singers either could not perform their concert in one city due to the reasons announced by the higher authorities, or only for a short period of time that did not reach more than a week. After that, the music atmosphere of the former Komafi country continued its path and the issues that arose were resolved with the interview of the director of the music office, which is nothing to worry about.

Therefore, in the first margin created, the Ministry of Guidance did not initiate media silence and tried to clarify the situation for the public and did what it could to remove the misunderstandings and obstacles that occurred, and the same thing happened.

Later, Reza Sadeghi, who announced that he was banned from going out, held his tour in Europe and other singers also performed.

But after two weeks, when there was peace in the music scene, the news of the cancellation of two concerts at the Ministry of Interior hall once again became controversial. This happened while the Ministry of Interior announced by placing a banner in front of the entrance that the concert was closed due to a technical fault. This sudden action, of course, made the public uncomfortable because this issue was not announced without prior notice and ahead of time. Some said that these singers must have had problems or their licenses were revoked.

*No license has been canceled/ technical malfunction of the hall caused the cancellation of the concert

In this regard, Salari, the artistic deputy of the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance, stated in an interview that it is not Ingun and that no license has been canceled, but according to the letter sent by the Ministry of Interior to the artistic deputy, this technical defect was the main reason for the cancellation of the concert. Referring to the fact that last year about 4,300 music concerts were held in the whole country, he said that it is normal that some of the concerts were disrupted due to technical problems in the hall or any other reason, but this does not mean that that the general process of holding concerts has been disrupted or the process of holding them has been hindered by the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance.

Salari explained that the hall of the Ministry of Interior is a hall with a capacity of 4,000 people, and if something happens in this place, it will be very different from a hall with a capacity of 100 people. When the Ministry of Interior’s letter states that a technical defect in the hall is the reason for canceling the concert, we must cooperate so that the program is stopped until the problem is resolved, and we must take care as much as possible that no concert in the country is canceled or closed.

After this news interview, in a conversation with the reporter of Central News Agency, the artistic deputy stated the statistics and figures of the licenses issued for concerts, which shows the efforts of the Ministry of Culture in granting licenses and the prosperity of the country’s music market.

But after this news, recently, in the morning of this day, a news has been published by the Minister of Culture and Islamic Guidance, which informs about the holding of concerts in the Ministry of Interior.

The Minister of Culture said in this regard: Now our friends have presented an alternative calendar for the events that have been canceled to be held in the hall of the Ministry of Interior in order to compensate for the problems of the last few days, the people of culture and art must be careful not to allow abuse by ill-wishers of the Iranian people. gave

Now, the last side of the music happened last night; Some arbitrarily attacked the Vahdat Hall and the performance of Lian Music Group to disrupt this performance. Of course, the result of the wrong work was stopped by the action of the police officers and security of Vahdat Hall and Rudaki Foundation.

* A political trend in the country seeks to magnify the problems

In the same interview, while appreciating the music artists who shined, the Minister of Culture said: I feel that there is a political trend in the country seeking to magnify some problems that sometimes occur naturally in performances, in order to bring different groups of people against each other on this issue. I can easily see this view of the political trend, so that some political veterans who are active in the country and now some of them are abroad, seek to provoke public opinion and create polarization so that the country’s media environment becomes heavy and the peace of the culture and art environment is disturbed. destroy

Obviously, with this speech, the minister condemned the events of last night and the like, which is a clear example of polarization and the weakening of the cultural and artistic atmosphere of the country, but he also pointed out the importance of legitimate and legal freedom. In order for artists to be hindered from performing their artworks, religious and legal issues must also be observed in the artistic space of the country and we should not allow the enemy to abuse it.

* We do not allow breaking norms

Esmaili said: We will not allow some people to break norms in the cultural and artistic spaces of our country. If, in addition to this, a few incidents happened, we will not attribute it to the people of culture and art.

What is important at the end is to point out that everyone must respect the law today, both those who are inside the halls and must observe Sharia and legal issues, and those who do not agree with a certain form or style of music must Respect the legal and legitimate freedom of artists who perform their concerts with legal permits. In this way, we can witness very good days until the end of July and before the beginning of Muharram, which are working days and concert season.
