Israeli singer Liraz Charhi, already a well-known actress in her homeland, writes her songs in Farsi, the language of her native nation of Iran. It is a country where, as a singer, she is unwelcome, regardless of her popularity. While Liraz’s 2019 single “Zan Bezan (Women, Sing)” lyrically channels the tradition of powerful Iranian pop musicians such as Googoosh and Ramesh, her compositions encompass both Eastern instrumentation and Western electronic house beats and synths. For Liraz, a glamorous and exciting live performer, simply to take the stage is a political act.
