“The sisters Melody and Safoura Safavi blend Iranian soul rhythms with reggae, rock, ska, and flamenco, singing in their native Farsi, plus English, Spanish and Swedish. Their lyrics, at once humorous and rebellious, speak of love and politics.” 

 

abjee (aab.gee)

Persian slang for sister and that’s just what they are - Safoura and Melody Safavi. Backed by a colorful crew of musicians, the two abjee’s present their own original brand of Persian world pop! Their lyrics, often humorous and sometimes rebellious, are written in Persian, but the expressive groove of the music and the abjees’ dramatic delivery break down all language barriers to create a new synthesis of cultures.

Abjeez's music is a mixture of different mood's and genres! Search through the tracks to find your own favorite tune!

PARCHAM (FLAG)

Even if a unity of religious and political views is not possible, a unity of love is. Where there is unity there is always victory!

one world - one love
