Special offer of Fajr music secretary; Creating an exclusive festival of fusion music with Iranian pop

According to Fars Music Reporter, Reza Mahdavi, the secretary of the 39th Fajr International Music Festival, pointed out the special role of pop style in this festival and said: Iranian pop music has found its shape after the revolution. The body of this style has become so wide that it has influenced the media. As far as the single grooves in different genres and of course the volume of bass in folk music, the most time has been allocated to the licenses of the Music Center of the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance.

He continued: Considering the presence of pop music in the side section of Fajr International Music Festival in the past years, we should take a more serious look at this part of the country’s music. Along with other types of Iranian national music, before looking at this issue as a festival, we should try to consider folk music with regard to being Iranian in line with the Iranian lifestyle and family. Let’s use the term Iranian pop instead of pop because the identity of pop has its own identifier for each country and in Iran it reaches people’s ears with arrangements from other countries, which is considered to be the standard Persian language just like the invasion of other languages. Let’s put that place.

Mahdavi also told Fars about the change of perspective in the pop section of next year’s Fajr music festival: I suggested that next year we have a dedicated festival of Iranian pop music. Because I believe that the most beautiful output of the festivals should appear in the Fajr International Music Festival. When we have the regional music festival, youth music and Fajr hymns and other festivals from the private sector, we should have an output from them that shows the validity of these festivals. And the big music is Fajr.

He added: Now that Iranian pop music has a comprehensive and media status and people welcome it to such an extent and it has good economic benefits compared to other musics, it should be indexed and given a special place. After the end At the festival, we can identify the best of them, and with the presence of prominent figures of the pop music pioneers of the sixties, we can model and set an example. That is, to extract the third aspect by taking them to arbitration and assigning them a special award or a barbad award. We should not have the view that pop is part of the festival to entertain people and generate income and only seek to profit from it. I hope that we will be able to implement parts of it next year. Unfortunately, it is not available this year.

The secretary of Fajr International Music Festival also pointed to the presence of young generation singers in this festival and told Fars reporter: The presence of new generation singers and Iranian pop music makes the festival more attractive. There is a team that selects the best singers, composers, arrangers and musicians based on the reception, status and type of music based on the festival and strategic view of the country’s music and gives them a hall to perform.

According to this news, the 39th Fajr International Music Festival will be held from 23 to 28 Bahman under the direction of Reza Mahdavi.
