Aref

Aref (Aref Arefkia) was born in Tehran, Iran on August 10, 1941 and was one of the first Iranian pop artists of his time. Aref’s introduction to music came in part by his azari mother and by listening to Radio Baku as a child. Radio Baku played exceptional azari and western music as well as all the famous European operas. At a time when the only kind of popular music was in "Tasnif" style, Aref introduced Western melodies with romantic lyrics to Iran in the 1960's.

The SuperGroup

The origin of the band is simple and clear, as clear as Jack Daniels drunk after midnight in a smoky practice room located in old post soviet bunkers overgrown by bushes somewhere in the heart of Masovia (Warsaw). The Supergroup is a mixture of friendship, love for jam sessions, unlimited creativity, rehearsals long into the night, with only one objective: music. Music shaped by the energy, the mood, the idea of the moment. Music which lets you escape from everything and everybody.
