Hadn't seen this Persian recording of the antifascist classic Bella Ciao before.

Many years ago there was also Persian a videoclip showing women in various contexts, clapping hands in a special, apparently symboli, rhythm. It was sung and obviously produced by some Iranian dissident artist, male and heavily bearded. Unfortunately, I lost all links, names and such... :(

@8petros There were several videos of primarily women in the areas under the Iran-regime singing specifically Bella Ciao during the antiauthoritarian feminist protests and uprisings sparked by the murder of Jîna/Mahsa Amini.Most of them were students singing in their classrooms, but also demos in unison, manifestations in student-occupied universities and some by professional artists.Here are some...https://todon.eu/@b9AcE/110703512079298007https://todon.eu/@b9AcE/110703605718533565https://todon.eu/@b9AcE/110072088112732199https://todon.eu/@b9AcE/109315865295769150https://todon.eu/@b9AcE/109275304464120270...out of many more.

Yes, thank you. It wasn't Bella Ciao, though. Something vernacular, I guess.

@8petros @b9AcE I forgot the name but there is a protest song that is fairly widespread in most of the Arab world and was also heard beyond, especially during the feminist protests in Iran. I think that's the one you're thinking of. It was also sung at some pro-Palestine protests last year I think.

@8petros @b9AcE I think you were thinking of this one but I don't think it's the one I was thinking of: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baraye

This is nice, sweet, melancholic, but not the one I miss so much.The creator was at least a generation older, giving sort of Ai Weiwei vibes and the power of the song was more along the lines of this Αρνιέμαι (Już nie chcę) - Βασίλης Παπακωνσταντίνου, Μίκης Θεοδωράκης (only hushed and without riots shown) - just women doing things: from playing football to shooting bows, and more. And clapping hands in a hypnotic rhytm.
