Iranian singer, songwriter & actor
Lila Will live through her songs
Speaking of and writing about Lila Kasra, our great and substantial contemporary lyricist, is not an easy task since a lot of artists owed, and continue to owe, a debt of gratitude to this great and successful poet and songwriter of ours, and her name will shine forever in Iranian history, culture, art, and literature.
Although Lila Kasra, this great lady of songs, has not been among us for many years, her memory is forever alive in the hearts of the artists and those who love arts.
I have had the honor of performing a few songs written by the late Mrs. Lila Kasra that are part of my most successful works and artistic resume. These include memorable works such as Yavashi and Sheytounak that were published in the mid 1980’s with the melodies and arrangements of dear artist Manouchehr Cheshm Azar. Also, there is the memorable song Atish that was performed alongside my colleagues Andy & Kouros.
An artist such as Lila Kasra will never die since, as she said herself, she will continue to live through her songs.
May she rest in peace!
Let us keep her memory dear in our hearts forever!
