Khatereh Parvaneh

Parvaneh was the daughter of Banoo Machol Parvaneh, a royal court singer in Iran from the Qajar era.^[1][2] Her mother died when Parvaneh was four, though the songs she learned from her mother formed the basis of her love of singing.^[2] Parvaneh's husband also encouraged her to sing after their marriage.^[2] She would sing the national anthem when teaching school, leading to her eventually being discovered by musician Abolhassan Saba in 1957.^[2][3]

Parvaneh sings traditional Iranian music.^[4] Her singing was described as "liquid-voiced" by the Idaho State Journal.^[5] Parvaneh performed at the Fajr Music Festival in 2006 and 2007.^[6]

Parvaneh died in her home in Tehran on 5 November 2008.^[2]
