Googoosh music

Googoosh in Hamseda Medley is drawing musical aspects from what seems like Spanish music. There is a steady beat with a constant flute to accentuate notes and the texture is mostly homophonic. On top of that Googoosh is holding notes and adding extra notes on some of the words. Definitely an experienced singer because she holds notes very quickly and can end them just as fast. Her tempo is very fluid like. She hits her high notes to fill in the silence after the flutes’ pauses. The majority of the song is in the major scale. Her voice’s ability to extend a note and raise it is opera-like while at the same time not as high and tiring on the ear. The background music was very catchy and made my feet want to dance because of the flickering uplifting notes. The music is very unlike many other Iranian artists of today’s time like afshin, andy, and arash. They sing in traditional Iranian music while googoosh has had plenty of time to develop her style and expand her style. Most Iranian singers would be lucky to last as long as she does in the Persian music industry. She has recreated herself over and over to fit the time and now the time conforms to her.
