Flowers, dreams and music have this in common: They bloom even in harsh climes. An elegant example is Waiting for the Dawn, Ooldouz Pouri’s first solo album. The hour of sunrise, even the year, may be in doubt. The point is that she sings—passionately, radiantly—her voice floating on songs from bygone eras that inspire hope in difficult times. Pouri was born in Tabriz, in northwestern Iran, where the majority of residents are ethnic Azeris; she now lives in Teheran (also home to a large Azeri minority), but due to legal restrictions on women singing in public she records in Norway. Her album tracks (nine in Azerbaijani, one in Farsi) are a mix of traditional ballads and popular tunes from the 1950s and 60s, when great divas flourished in Iran. Though the collection is suffused with Middle Eastern flavor, a multi-national band—notably Serbian-Norwegian accordionist Jovan Pavlovic—facilitates Pouri’s embrace of congenial sounds, including tango, bal-musette and blues. Many are the faces of love in her stories: There’s a heartbreaking beauty to Nece ünüdüm seni (How can I forget you?), lamenting, “Together we built a world in which/You were the stone and I was the dust” (video 1). Sorrow gives way to swagger in Sevmamak Olmaz (Can’t help falling in love), featuring a siren who takes full advantage of her beauty (video 2). Shabe Mahtab (The moonlit night), the sole track in Farsi, is a lilting ode to aspirational romance (video 3), while an aching hope of reconciliation drives Kuçelere Su sepmişam (I have swept the dust off the lanes, video 4). From childhood, Pouri dreamed of singing but she lives in a time and place offering little encouragement. However remote the dawn of harmony between her country and her voice, her songs create their own light. (Kirkelig Kulturverksted)
