Riding high at the top of this month s Transglobal World Music Chart is the Isreali-Persian singer, songwriter and social activist Liraz Charhi.
Her new album, Zan, which means women in Farsi, was released last November. Given the dire situation for the entertainment industry, it seems appropriate that this album was crafted secretly through collaborations with musicians in Iran. The album is a mix of traditional beats with rock and jazz, and features Liraz s superb voice.
