Shahin Najafi

Shahin Najafi is a prominent Iranian artist, musician, poet, and activist known for advocating for social and political change in Iran through his music. Despite facing a fatwa and harassment for his work, Najafi has been a vocal supporter of the recent women-led revolution in Iran, using his blend of traditional Persian sounds and contemporary rock music to address issues like mistreatment of women and religious minorities. His songs have become anthems for those fighting for equality and justice, making him a significant voice for women's and LGBTQ rights in Iran, as well as a defender of freedom of speech and art. Najafi's upcoming concert in downtown Los Angeles is expected to be a powerful performance highlighting his dedication to his art and message of social and political change.
