Zir Zamin

Site Description:
The word "Zir Zamin" means "Underground". Zir Zamin is an Iranian online music magazine. The project concept is a forum to connect the new wave of Iranian independent and underground musicians both inside and outside of Iran, to the Iranian public and the world through us. Zir Zamin is the juncture where the public can hear and see our new youth popular culture. It is also an intersection where musicians may present their new material for review by other musicians as well as the public. Our purpose is to represent our Iranian Alternative Music Scene to the international music community and industry. This is the only reason that the dominating language on the magazine is in English instead of Persian. We also want to be a part of creating this new Iranian music scene and its new vital identity. Zir Zamin is a stage for all the Iranian musicians with exceptional creative quality.
