Aref (singer)
Aref Arefkia (Persian: عارف عارفکیا), known by the mononym Aref (عارف; also Romanized as Āref, born August 10, 1940) is an Iranian pop music singer and former actor. He is known as the "Sultan of Hearts" in Iran.
He graduated from the Tehran Industrial School of Art in 1958. Before starting his career as a singer, Aref worked as a teacher at Qazvin industrial school of Art for two years. He has been singing since the age of 12.
In the 1960s, Aref introduced a new wave of romantic styles to the large corpus of romantic Persian music. After the Islamic revolution Aref left Iran and went to London and Los Angeles. He has one son and four daughters.
His first hit was "Daryacheye Noor", which is still popular among Iranians. Aref and his family left Iran in 1979, following the Islamic Revolution. He first lived in London, England, for three years, then moved to Los Angeles, United States.
A number of songs: I present you (August 2018), that's Enough (June 2018), Peshmerga (February 2017), who better than you (November 2016), Love (July 2016), Bagh-e Darya (February 2016), Mondgar (December 2015), Don't Cry (January 1, 2015), Song of Nostalgia (June 2014), Love (May 19, 2014), Storm (October 1, 2013), Aramesh (2012), If you're not (with Reza Naderi- 2011), Stars, Fire (2007), Persian Gulf.
Song Style: In the past, Aref's work was known among music pursuers as "Aref style.". The process of shaping this style was as follows: In the mid-1940s, songs were performed as ballads with Arabic themes, mostly needles and gloomy. The course was attended by singers Qasim Jebeli, Manouchehr Shafiee, Alfred Lazarian and Houshang Shokati. Some poets and translators translated the lyrics of the European song "Wow to Wow". Hamid Ghanbari and Jamshid Sheibani were among the first to perform the translated lyrics with the same original song. This style was pop, but it was not Iranian. In the early 1950s, love songs were performed with Western orchestration and Persian theology. This style of song was presented to the public by Mohammad Noori, Vigen and Manouchehr Sakhaei.
When Aref started his career, Viguen was referred to as the "founder of pop music". He created a "Aref style" by adding Iranian melodies and musical instruments to the previous style.
