“Oy” which means ouch, is the name of third studio album by Iranian controversial musician, Mohsen Namjoo. In his new released album he sings “Shams” song once again.

In 2006 he was sentenced in absentia to a five-year jail term for allegedly ridiculing the ash-Shams, a sura of Quran in the song named “Shams” by Iranian judicial system. The conviction took place in spite of his formal apology. Later Namjoo claimed that he will perform an orchestral version of this song in Venice. He also sang this song in Oy album as a single.” – Wikipedia

That could be a new way of singing Quran, I believe, which you haven’t heard before. You feel strange and if you’re a Muslim, you may experience some kind of dissonance. Is it a Taboo or just a cool stuff?!
Enjoy the Song. Buy the Song or download here.

It’s not nice to do that at all, sounds like a strange idea, not appropriate.

Dear Eman,
Maybe you’re right. I dont wanna judge if its an appropriate idea or not. It’s something that never had done before. Just a NEW IDEA; nothing else! And certainly some may like and some may be disgusted.
