Abjeez Sisters

‘Abjee’ is Persian slang for sister and that’s just what they are: “The Abjeez,” sisters Melody & Safoura Safavi. Though they began writing songs in the late 90s, they didn’t form their band until 2005. The intent behind their work has always been to be an inspiring alternative force in Persian pop music/culture.
When the sisters started their band over 10 years ago, Iran had been “closed” to western culture for nearly 30 years and Persian pop music had become stagnant. Melody & Safoura, who were raised in Sweden and had the chance to nourish their creativity in freedom, wanted to make a change in this matter – and they did!
The music composed by Safoura Safavi is a blend of various musical styles and intends to complement their lyrics in a dynamic, creative way, making their performances effusive and engaging regardless of whether one understands the languages they are performed in. The lyrics written by Melody Safavi are often humorous, socially critical, and primarily in Farsi. But the Abjeez sisters love to sing and perform in different languages, transcending boundaries with songs in Spanish, Swedish and English.
