Chris de Burgh in Iran!
June 2nd, 2008You may know Chris de Burgh or not. But if you do not know, he is an Irish song writer singer and musician. He’s got astounding popularity in some countries such as Germany, Norway, Iran, Lebanon and Brazil, according to Wikipedia.
By the way Iranian go crazy for his songs and everyone knows him inside Iran! The cause is not clear why there is such a thing; at least I do not know.
Lately, Arian band which is an Iranian famous pop band, has invited him to perform together. Last week, Chris de Burgh has been in Iran to record a song with Arian and also prepare for his Iran tour. It’s the first western act in Iran after 1979 revolution, according to Wikipedia.
He, in press conference in Tehran said:” This has been a dream of mine since I was a little boy (to visit Iran)….I am not here for any political reasons. “
Arian new album has just released and has a song featuring Chris de Burgh. That song is a new version of “The Words I Love You” from his 2004 album, “The Road to the Freedom”. This song is like “Lebanese Nights” that he had performed with Elissa, that Lebanese singer.
And I believe this song is going to be a hit in Iran. Watch it here:

His music was considered legal in the years that music was considered so bad and mistreated. Maybe that’s why Iranians know him more than other singers.
Wow… his voice and lyrics are amazing. Why can’t people like him make it to the mainstream in the Americas… sigh…
Jina, he need to rap for that
Gangsta rap, because the old school rappers also have no chance. Maybe if he had a half naked chick rubbing against him in all his videos, he might become famous. And the half naked chick can blurt out random words and editors can edit it to death till it sounds good… ya that might work.
Snoop dog, I suggest, a bit of flesh would mean much art, would endorse( just learnt the word from Obamaman) much appreciation
rofl, thats a good one.
