List of Persian/Iranian Events for 2012-11-02

Iranian born singer Rana Farhan has found a way to sing the rich mystical poetry of Iran with the classic American sound of jazz and blues. Her ability to fuse these two very distinct cultures and deliver such a unique musical style makes her truly a one of a kind artist.

Rana's mission to bring unity and understanding through the arts has taken her around the globe, from Dubai to London to San Francisco. Her stand out performance in the critically acclaimed film "No One Knows About Persian Cats" solidified her icon status with the young musicians of Iran who download her music religiously over the internet.
