Roqe - Ep #112 - Rana Mansour

A feature interview with Iranian-American singer-songwriter Rana Mansour. Rana joins Jian for a very frank conversation about being a musical child prodigy growing up in Washington DC, early years at Berklee College of Music and releasing English records, her move into the Persian music marketplace, frustrations at lack of industry recognition and self-criticism, working with her father as a songwriting partner, and the interesting paradox of being celebrated for her sublime voice and captivating performances in Persian, despite being born and raised in the USA and never having actually been to Iran. Plus, Kyan bring a new edition of “It’s All Persian To Us” and the Roqe Team revisit Monday’s veganism debate.
