After the tragic departure of Parviz Maghsadi just recently, yesterday the Iranian music history experienced another loss. The veteran poet/songwriter Bijan Taraghi passed away at the age of 80, coincidentally on the day that was supposed to be Parviz Maghsadi’s birthday! In his more than half-a-decade long career Taraghi collaborated with many icons of both poetry and music, including pioneers such as Nima Youshij and Parviz Yahaghi! May God rest his creative soul.
