Iran Feature: Two Sisters Try to Reach Their Country with Pop Music (McTighe)
Abjeez --- Melody and Safoura Safavi --- performing in Hamburg, March 2010
Though Safoura Safavi said they did not want to be merely a political band, she acknowledged that their activism was an important part of their music.
“Being an Iranian, you have no choice but to be political,” she said. “And being outside Iran, it’s our duty to speak up.”
