Persian pop: Hamid Sefat

Even though I don't understand (or care especially much) about lyrics in pop music, I try to be careful in checking out the story behind the music I listen to (or at least the ones I blog about). I will make an exception with Hamid Sefat, as I feel his video "Che" is interesting enough to write about. It's visual language is intriguing and makes me reflect. Good enough.

• Hamid Sefat - Che
• Hamid Sefat feat. Mohsen Bazargan - Hiss Maloome Kojay (هیس معلومه کجای)
• Hamid Sefat - Sookhtegan (حمید صفت سوختگان)
