Arian
Aryan or Arian (Persian: آریان) is the first Persian pop band consisting of both male and female singers and players in Iran after the 1979 Islamic Revolution. Pahlavan and Salehi are the band's lead vocalists, and the songwriters are Pahlavan, Salehi, Amirkhas, Khahani and Farnejad. Their second, third and fourth albums were the bestselling albums of their release years. They are the first Iranian band to feature in the "International Who's Who in Music". They have released four albums, and played concerts around the globe. They donate part of their profits to the "United Nations World Food Programme".
The reason the band stopped making music was mentioned in an interview with one of the lead vocalists, Ali Pahlavan. First, Ninef Amirkhas, the arranger of all songs and an important member directing the band, left the country. With Ninef Amirkhas leaving, all of the responsibilities were now left on Pahlavan's shoulder. "But then came the disputes with our producer and problems with the officials. As the problems grew larger, members gradually lost their enthusiasm due to the lack of suitable conditions to work, and finally called it a day”, Pahlavan said in an interview back in 2015.
