...

"I want to sing for the people I love. This is a right that I could not ignore; singing for the land that I love dearly."

Ahmadi performed without an audience but broadcast the concert live on her #YouTube channel'

You are a very talented singer and are not allowed to perform in public without hijab.

So what do you do?

You organise a concert WITHOUT any public, you record it, and you publish it on YouTube.

And you get arrested.

I would love to know the lyrics of these beautiful songs.

@paulschoe choose CC, click the gear button, choose subtitles, autogenerated, auto-translate, and pick English. @benroyce

Thanks Joe,
That auto-translate already adds so much to her songs. I will use that more often.

Singer Parastoo Ahmadi:

"Don't destroy my dignity with my saffron".

@paulschoe I do videos about hearing aids and have seen people use the auto-translate. I've also used it on occasion. @benroyce
