Abjeez is a captivating Persian-Swedish fusion band founded by sisters Melody Safavi and Safoura Safavi. Formed in 2005, the band's name is a Persian slang term for "sisters." Blending Iranian soul rhythms with reggae, rock, ska, and flamenco influences, Abjeez delivers a unique and vibrant sound. The lyrics, primarily in Persian with occasional songs in Swedish, Spanish, and English, tackle humorous and subversive cultural and political themes. Known for their pioneering spirit and courage to address taboo subjects, the band has garnered critical acclaim for their exploration of women's rights, gender issues, and youth in Iran. With successful performances at renowned music festivals and sold-out concerts across Europe and North America, Abjeez has established themselves as one of the most influential Iranian music groups of the 2000s.
