Aryan or Arian (Persian: Āriān - آریان) is the first Persian pop band consisting of both male and female singers and players in Iran after the Islamic Revolution. Pahlavan and Salehi are the band's lead vocalists, and the songwriters are Pahlavan, Salehi, Amirkhas, Khahani and Farnejad. Their second, third and fourth albums were the bestselling albums of their release years.[1][2] They are the first Iranian band to feature in the "International Who's Who in Music". They have released four albums, and played concerts around the globe. They donate part of their profits to the "United Nations World Food Programme". The reason Arian stopped making music was mentioned in an interview with Ali Pahlavan, one of the lead vocalists. First, Ninef Amirkhas, the arranger of all songs and an important member directing the band, left the country. The reason of Ninef Amirkhas leaving is unknown. With Ninef Amirkhas leaving, all of the responsibilities were now left to Pahlavan. "But then came the disputes with our producer and problems with the officials. As the problems grew larger, members gradually lost their enthusiasm due to the lack of suitable conditions to work, and finally called it a day”, Pahlavan said in an interview back in 2015. There is not much known about Ninef Amirkhas. It's not even known where currently is. Please contact the editor of this article if you have any information.
Their debut album, Gole Aftabgardoon (The Sunflower) was released in 2000. The album had huge success in Iran and between the Persian communities across the globe.[verification needed] The lyrics were simple, nice and different from the prior bands and singers, and the music had a positive feeling.
Their second album, however, had more complex lyrics. It was named Va Amma, Eshgh (And Now, Love) and released in 2001. The lyrics were again alternative and different, and in the first song, the fantasies of love are being criticized and described as "The Childish Tales". It took three years to release the third album, Till Eternity..., released in 2004 and they started to show their music to the rest of the world and were nominated for BBC World Music awards recently. The band has become so popular that more than 54,000 tickets to one of their concerts were sold in less than six hours.[verification needed]
In a recent interview with BBC they said, "Now we have a responsibility, we should be better and introduce ourselves all over the world. "If you go to Iranian movies all you see is misery - nothing else. People think Iran is like this - everything is a desert, all the people are crying.... We wanted to show the real Iran".[3]
In 2008, they released their fourth album Bi to Ba to and they worked together with Chris de Burgh and produced an English-Persian version of de Burgh's song "The Words I Love You" (A light for eternity).
In 2009, Arian released a single called "Here Comes Nowrouz, Here Comes Spring" for the Iranian new year.
In 2010, they released a single called "The Footsteps of Hope" for United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) and received a Certificate of Appreciation from WFP.[verification needed]
Mohammad Reza Golzar, a famous actor and model, used to be one of the guitarists and soloists for the group.
