The Nowruz 1402 ceremony was held at the White House with the song ‘Baraye’.
The Nowruz 1402 ceremony was held at the White House with the presence of U.S. President Joe Biden and his wife Jill Biden.
During this ceremony, Shervin Hajipour’s song ‘Baraye’ was played. The song ‘Baraye’ was released on this artist’s Instagram at the beginning of the protests in Iran on September 29. This single, which later became global, turned into a symbol for these protests, and the singer of the song was imprisoned for a while.
Before the U.S. President and his wife entered the room where guests were waiting for them in celebration of Nowruz, this song was played. The First Lady of the United States had previously awarded a special Grammy to this piece on February 6.
Jill Biden said at the ceremony, ‘I want to tell the girls and young women of Iran that your song resonates in our hearts.’
