    Persian Wedding Advice

    I have a Persian wedding coming up soon and I haven't worked with this community much.

    They have requested standard Arabic music and or Bandari but I'm just kinda looking for any advice in terms of audience participation, music selections that are popular choices, tipping styles, etc in reference to Persians :)

    Thanks in advance :)

    I find (in my family at least) they really enjoy Aziza (I think my aunt mentioned Jamileh danced toit a lot) and and lively/fun song that lets you be cute and coquettish ('naz' in farsi) they will really enjoy. My friend did her regular gig at a persian restaurant and used hossam ramzy's Aziza, Ah wi noos (and really played it up), Linda Linda, a drum solo and ended with bandari to get the audience to get up and dance.

    Re: Persian Wedding Advice

    The advice I got when I was exactly in your position was Persians like upbeat songs. So for a recent wedding I did I opened with Issam Houshan's "The 8th Gate", it is modern and has a lot of energy, then I did a sword number (they specifically requested sword) to Kairo by Night's "Desert Orchid" and Hossam Ramzy's "Khatwet Serena" as my drum solo, then I filled the rest of the set out with Persian popular love (or party) songs. Here are some of the songs that others recommended to me that I really liked:

    Parishoon by Pouya
    To Mahshari by Omid
    Jooni Joonom by Leila Forouhar
    Gole Pooneh by Andy

    Others that I was considering:

    Beni Beni or Arezou by Niyaz
    Raghse Arousi - Iranian Traditional
    Mobarak Baad
    Aroosi by Leila Forouhar
    Baba Karam by Nahid or by Mehrdad Asemani
    Aroose Arezouham by Pouya
    Arousiye Irani by Mehrdad Asemani
    Shiraz by Bijan Mortazavi
    Ey Maah Bebin by Bijan Mortazavi
    Naz Aroos
    Chai Chai by Kouros
    Dokharah Balla by Andy
    Areh Areh by Andy
    Ghanari Joon by Sheila
    Aroos Khalij by Sheila
    Jaane Maryam by Mohammad Nouri or Lily Afshar
    Aroosi by Nariman


    Then I watched a lot of Jamileh to get me in the right groove before I went:
    Jamileh - Bandari Dance |
