She has already performed on stage in both Sweden and Norway, and is featured on two tracks on the album “Songs in the mist – young Iranian female voices”, which was released on the KKV label in 2016.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe songs on the new album by Ooldouz Pouri are mostly older ones belonging to the popular culture in Iran and Azerbaijan in the golden days of the 1950s and 1960s, often recorded by grand divas while records with female soloists were still allowed to be sold in Iran.

The album features traditional Persian classical poetry and folk songs from minorities in Iran, and these women have travelled a long way to Oslo to record it. In their homeland it is prohibited for women to sing solo. This means that they have no access to a stage, and their talents remain invisible. To be seen and heard by an audience, KKV is releasing their music, just as the company has done for other female Iranian artists earlier.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe ten women are: Ooldouz Pouri, Sara Parvaresh, Nelia Safai, Maryam Lamei, Sahar Mansourzadeh, Parand, Mahsa Azizmi, Yasaman, Afarin Nazari, Golnush Salehi and Firoozeh Rais Dana. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn addition to Persian instruments such as the kamancheh, khanoon, tar and baghlama, which they play themselves, they are accompanied by two Norwegian musicians: Rune Arnesen on drums and percussion and Gjermund Silset on double bass.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe project is part of a long-term project the KKV is a part of in cooperation with the Royal Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
