The 1979 Iranian Revolution marked a turning point in Homeyra’s life and career. Like many artists of the time, she left and continued her work in exile—settling in Los Angeles, which became a major hub for Persian cultural life abroad. But even far from her homeland, her music never lost its roots. In fact, it grew deeper, more poignant. Her voice became a soundtrack to the diaspora’s longing—longing for home, for freedom, for memory. Songs like “Shenidam”, “Delam Gerefteh Az In Shahr”, and “Ey Mehman” capture that ache with haunting beauty.
