Biography

Parvaneh was the daughter of Banoo Machol Parvaneh, a royal court singer in Iran from the Qajar era.[1][2] Her mother died when Parvaneh was four, though the songs she learned from her mother formed the basis of her love of singing.[2] Parvaneh's husband also encouraged her to sing after their marriage.[2] She would sing the national anthem when teaching school, leading to her eventually being discovered by musician Abolhassan Saba in 1957.[2][3]

Parvaneh sings traditional Iranian music.[4] Her singing was described as "liquid-voiced" by the Idaho State Journal.[5] Parvaneh performed at the Fajr Music Festival in 2006 and 2007.[6]

Parvaneh died in her home in Tehran on 5 November 2008.[2]
