Farhang Foundation proudly presents MINA DERIS' latest release IRANAM, a musical tribute to the resilience of Iran.
"IRANAM is an extraordinary music project that is a heartfelt tribute to Iran and its enduring struggles. Created by an anonymous composer, the composition skillfully captures the pains experienced by the nation. Drawing inspiration from the evocative storytelling of Naser Nadimi, the composer beautifully transforms the first part of Nadimi's poem into the song IRANAM. This fusion of poetry and music creates a powerful and emotional experience that aims to inspire empathy and honor Iran's resilience.
This music video, IRANAM, takes the portrayal to another level, inviting viewers to connect on a deeper level and empathize with the narrative. The video enhances the musical composition by visually portraying the challenges faced by Iran, evoking a sense of unity and understanding. Through this project, the composer intends to raise awareness about the nation's struggles and showcase the strength and determination of its people. "Iranam" serves as a testament to the power of art in inspiring empathy, fostering connections, and shedding light on important social and political issues.
Special thanks to Reneh Studio and Shahab Ettekal for their dedicated efforts in creating this powerful music video." ~ Mina Deris

At 15, Mina felt a magnetic pull toward the enchanting world of Arab music inspired by the legendary Umm Kulthum. Growing up in Abadan, Iran, her Arab heritage and mother tongue naturally drew her to the mesmerizing melodies of Arabic classical music, known as maqam. After university, Mina dedicated herself to studying Iranian classical music under the guidance of Master Hengameh Akhavan and Master Farhang Sharif.
As her reputation grew, Mina became a sought-after vocalist, collaborating with various Iranian pop, folk, and fusion bands. In 2014, she proudly graduated from the esteemed Music Conservatory of Tehran, a testament to her years of dedication and hard work.

Since 2016, Mina has served as the lead singer of the renowned Novak Ensemble, releasing single tracks and albums like "Agitation" and "Bidel," which showcased her artistic vision and musical depth.
With the winds of change blowing in her homeland, Mina made the difficult decision to seek a new chapter in the United States. At Boston University, she delivered a powerful concert recounting the story of four decades of oppression and pressure.
