TOUR DU MONDE 9 - THE RESERVATIONS

TOUR DU MONDE 9 - THE RESERVATIONS



As winner of Tour du Monde 7 it fell to Niko to chose the destination of the 9th edition....and he chose






IRAN

Yes another challenging country...but if you look on YouTube and Wikipedia there's actually plenty to chose from.  However if you need help then you can ask me

it's not that hard (it's not Trinidad & Tobago for instance) : thanks to its well spread cinema, we get to know a lot of its culture

interesting choice, definitely (but as usual, people who chose these countries, Bolivia and Iran, do it because they know a certain group/singer from there they love and it will make it easier for them to win)

I have to admit that I don't know much about iranian music. Some "tips & suggestions" might help for once.  :-[

@Niko - sorry for missing the bolivian edition. I just came back home today from my holiday.
Sometimes I'm good but when I'm bad I'm even better

You can find a list of Iranian musicians

HERE - iranian.com
HERE - bia2.com
HERE - Wikipedia

Or simply type "Iranian music" into YouTube.  You can also search for "Persian music" or "Farsipop".  However the last 2 do cover more than just Iran (usually Afghanistan & Tajikistan) so you may need to make sure they are Iranian before sending :wink:

Hope at least one of these links helps people find something.

I know quite a lot Iranian singers, bands and musicians, thanks to Danijel, who has informed me very much about the Iranian music life.  ;) Danijel is a real expert in Iranian / Persian music, so I hope he will join this edition.  :)

I am not trying to rush you, but when will you open this edition ?   :-[ If Danijel, Relyana and Bree haven't yet sent their videos, please send them another PM.  :)

Sorry guys, I wish I can join contests again but I can't ... for now. I'll start renovating my apartment soon (I'm already looking for furniture and more). Plus, my work schedule is very busy. It wouldn't be Ok for me to join a contest and not be able to vote in time or vote in the last hour as I've been doing lately.

Hope you'll forgive me for this. I'll make it up for my absence as soon as I can.  :grouphug:
