From Bushehr to Australia: Second Single from Otagh's Upcoming New Album
"From Bushehr to Australia" is a touching tribute to the victims of last year's devastating forest fires in both Australia and the Zagros mountain range in Iran. Inspired by the heart-wrenching images of animals clinging to each other for survival, Omid Saeedi composed a melody based on a traditional romantic folk song from southern Iran. The track serves as a beautiful rite of mourning and a dedication to those who lost their lives and homes, and to anyone who finds themselves in similarly devastating situations.
