I would also like to extend my gratefulness to my committee member, Dr. Madhavi Mallapragada, whose marvelous class on the media of diasporas inspired and sculpted this project. I am forever indebted (figuratively and literally) to my lovely parents, Shahin and Ahmad. This would have been impossible without their sacrifices. I am also thankful to the rest of my family, especially Shadi and Sheida, for the endless moral support and the countless reminders to just get it done!

  • Arash - Tillbaka Med Nya Singeln ”Se Fue” Tillsammans Med Mohombi
    2017-05-26 09:30 CEST Arash - tillbaka med nya singeln ”Se Fue” tillsammans med Mohombi Popstjärnan Arash slog igenom 2004 med hiten ”Boro Boro”, som gick direkt in som #1 på topplistan i Sverige. Låten blev en enorm framgång i stora delar av världen och följdes upp med hiten ”Temptation”. Arash nådde närmast kultstatus i Ryssland och flertal andra östländer och fick äran att vara sommarpratare i programmet Sommar i P1. Han har också hunnit specialskriva musik till en stor Bollywood-film och medverkat i Eurovision Song Contest 2009 där han representerade Azerbajdzjan och slutade på en tredjeplats. Arash är nu tillbaka och släpper sin nya singel ”Se Fue”, tillsammans med en video till låten. På ”Se Fue” samarbetar han med Mohombi, som upptäcktes av superproducenten RedOne. Nya videon är gjord av Lex Luther, Antoine van Innis och Fred Khoshtinat. Fred har tidigare gjort musikvideor till Arash, samt vunnit pris för ’Best Visual Effects’ vid Asian Film Awards. ”Se Fue” är skriven av Arash, Mohombi, Andreas Öberg, Ninos Hanna, Anderz Wrethov och Robert Uhlmann.
