Mams Taylor and Other Iranian Artists Call for Freedom in 'United for Neda'

Iranian-British recording artist Mams Taylor collaborated with some of Iran's most well-known entertainers in producing and writing "United for Neda," a song advocating for political freedom in the country.

One of the most notable aspects of the video (below) is the filming method (or lack thereof). The video was shot only on cell phones, an important development given the tribute to Iranian protestors and the fact that nothing like it has ever been done before, especially with the notoriety of the artists participating.

Taylor sang on the track with artists named Dariush, Sattar and Morteza, who are the most famous/iconic singers in Iran’s history. Others appearing in the video included Iranian super stars Shila Vosough (Actress), Shoreh Aghdashloo (Oscar nominated actress from House of Sand and Fog), Kamy R (Singer from Black Cats – most popular singing group in Iran), Sussan Deyhim (Singer), Parviz Sayyad (Actor/Poet), Kamyar and Payam Jaffari (Rappers).

The video itself has gotten lots of play, specifically on CNN and Rock the Vote.com.

Proceeds from both the song and the video will benefit those Iranians fighting for freedom, so go check it out.
