Change for Equality: I am Gianna Nannini, a popular rock musician and singer from Italy.
I was in Iran in December 2006 to learn about the music and people, and to record Iranian instruments for my current opera, Pia de Tolomei.
I worked and recorded with many talented musicians, some of whom were women, such as kamanche player Negar Kharkan and Noushin Pasdar, who plays the oud. I met the incredible vocalist, Mahsa Vahdat, and had the opportunity to play and sing with her as well.
I also learned about the women’s movement and the Million Signature Campaign during my stay. I am very impressed by the movement’s energy and actions and will support them however I can.
I am one of you.
Gianna
