‏Furuzanda Arbabi

Arbabi, Furuzanda (1931-), announcer and broadcaster for Radio Tehran (1957-1979). Beginning her career with family-recreational programmes, she found her way into special programmes devoted to Persian classical literature, where it was that she made a name for herself. Her special tonality of her voice, perfect for the recitation of pieces of poetry whose contents were in harmony with the ideals of these programmes – particularly the Gulha programmes – attracted numerous fans to her. Owing to drastic changes in the administrative system of the Iranian Radio and Television in post-revolutionary Iran, she ceased all her broadcasting activities after the revolution of 1979.
