Iranian Vocalist Mamak Khadem Breaks Gender Rules With Music

Iranian vocalist Mamak Khadem is breaking gender rules in Persian music, one of very few Iranian women singing this style of poetry in public, usually a men-only affair.

Khadem releases her new album “A Window to Color” with influences from Turkey, Greece and Spain.
