Yesterday, for the first time I heard your voice and I have to admit that as mush as the tough guy I tought I am, I found myself with some tears. To me, your voice had the same effect as when Obama won the US election. No ,it is not true. It felt better, just like I could start breathing again. Bravo.Tres bien.آفرین

I am writing from Iran. In all these years of wandering among variety of musical pieces, i have rarely come to such an enjoyable astonishment that i came to facing your music. we love you. keep up the good job please.
Mehran from Iran

I can't add anything to all the wonderful feedback that is on your website already. I will just say that your music makes my tears flow and my spirits soar. As an artist, you enlighten others' lives; and as an Iranian, you make us proud. I wish you will go on to bless us with your beautiful art for many many years to come.

Your voice and music made me wish God to give me back my wings just once again, so I could embrace the clouds and dance with them, listening to your songs. Skim and tease the surface of the white clouds when your joyous voice teases with words and when your profound presentation  of melancholia, partitions mind from brain and illogically sinks one in a deep but sweet momentary gloominess, would have made me dive into the darker clouds below…I would stop the rapid descent and during the climb back to glee, as the nose of my jetliner breaks through the surface of the clouds and finds the first glimpse of the shining Sun and the most clear skies ever, to be listening to you singing “Ey Iran…”

Your performance in Toronto was the jewel in the crown of Tirgan Festival, Toronto. It was my first time to see you , and I couldn't believe one could experience that much emotion in one concert. I cried from the bottom of my heart, screamed from the top of my lung, and I clapped so hard which got bruises in my wrist. The combination of folk, jazz, and opera was very unique and extremely effective.

Mary and I wanted to thank you so very much for last night. We were going to stick around to say thank you as well, however,you seemed so busy that we didn't want to take up her time. The concert was absolutely wonderful, and we both though you werer absolutely phenomenal. The music is such a fantastic blend, and we found it utterly moving! You have certainly created two new raving fans! Thank you again for the opportunity, it was very kind of you.

Je viens à l'instant de découvrir votre talent, votre voix divine. J'ai encore les larmes en vous écrivant. (lalayi surtout pour une jeune maman que je suis...) Vous transmettez si majestueusement cette magie des mots et de l'esprit poétique persan accompagnée du timbre si limpide de votre voix que le coeur en devient un ruisseau de larmes qui coule au plus profond de l'âme pour rejoindre la MER de beauté.
Comme pleins d'autres fans, j'en reste sans mots pour vous féliciter... point besoin...
Qu'attendez-vous pour nous faire profiter à Paris. J'enrage d'impatience.

- I was just blessed with a brief listening to some of your beautiful presentations, especially the song "Mah Pishanoo ماه پیشانو,” your presentation of the lyrics touched my heart. At the moment I am at a loss for words to describe how I feel. Your 2003 concert extracts on YouTube provides glimpses of joy, and your web-site's gallery provides a bit more. It is now a very late hour here in California , and your music brought lightness to my soul. Thank you and God bless you.

- I believe you are a phenomena soloist in Persian music. As an Iranian who lives in U.S, I am proud of having such a great Iranian fellow like you. Mesmerized by your voice, and even more importantly, your personality, as an Iranian I am proud of your emergence in the international world of music and arts.

- I'm a great fan of your angelic celestial voice...when I first heard it I couldn't help crying for long hours. It truly touched my heart, burning me deep within flows of passion... my everlasting passion for music. You can't imagine how much I'm proud of you, you shining Iranian lady...keep shining.-

I'm a 22-year-old girl living in Iran , Tehran who's doomed to let my dreams of singing professionally and internationally be buried with me. The dream of singing like you even once in a lifetime. Just let me sincerely beg you to enjoy every single moment of your HOLY career...even in place of us. You know that so many girls in Iran -like me- dream that they were blessed enough to have the opportunity of singing... to impress human beings with this heaven-sent talent in their throats.

We're proud of you Darya
God Bless You,
With love,

M. Milani

- I enjoyed your works – especially lalayi and mahpishanoo. I'm sure if we could hear angles' voice it would be like your voice. I also admire your passion and respect to our folk music. Your voice brings beauty, happiness and hope for every-body's life. I just wanted to tell you congratulation and tell that I'm so happy and proud of such a s

harp, educated Iranian singer like you.

The last word I can tell, " Darya Dadvar is not belonging to just one nation but all nations".
You are the one

مرغ خوشخوان زمانه‌ی کوچ

این پرنده است که می‌خواند و راه به دریا می‌برد، یا دریاست که از گلوی پرنده سرریز می‌شود؟ شبی که پری راه شنیدن آوازهایش را نشانم داد، نه مهتاب بود و نه ماهی در خیال آن بود تا به خوابم ب‍‍یاید. رمز راه را که تقه زدم، طرحی سپید بر پرده‌ای سیاه پیدا شد که آنی به چشمم پرنده آمد و آنی دیگر پرهیبی از تصویر زنی زیبا که گمان را به ماهی سیاه چشم و سیاه مو می‌کشاند. به تلنگری بر سینه‌اش به پرده‌ای دیگر رسیدم و صدایی در ستایش دو چشم سیاه و دو موی رها در دم افسونم کرد.

از آن شب بی ماه و مهتاب تا به حال هم‌چنان و هنوز ازسحر این صدای نویافته سرخوشم. صدایی که از آن پس شب‌هایی مدام در تاریک روشن تنهایی من دویده و در دواری دلنشین آواها و نواها و "ناله‌های گمشده ترکیب" کرده است. ترکیبی که گویا از کنارهم نشاندن راه و روش‌های اپرای غربی با حال و هوای ترانه‌ها و آهنگ‌های بومی شرقی به‌دست می آید اما، در نهان و در پس، از بستر هم‌آمیزی حس‌ها و زبان‌ها و فرهنگ‌های رنگ به رنگ برمی خیزد.

صدا نغمه‌ی سپید‌مرغ بوم را ساز می‌کند. صدا لالایی چشم‌هایی را زمزمه می‌کند که از یاد خانه دریا می‌شوند. صدا ترانه‌ی عشق ماه پیشونو را فریاد می‌کند. صدا ناله‌ی سرزمینی را سرمی‌دهد که خنده‌اش را ربوده و رگش را گشوده‌اند. صدا از زبانی به زبانی و از گویشی به گویشی می‌سرد ومی‌غلتد تا تکه‌های تک افتاده را به‌هم‌بدوزد. صدا نرم و نازک و تند و کند از خطه‌ای به خطه‌ای می‌رود ومی‌دود تا غریبه‌با‌هم‌ها را همنشین هم کند. صدا می‌خواند و می‌خواند و نا‌همخوان‌ها را هم‌آهنگ می‌کند.

این صدا که چنین گرم و گیرا لحن و کلام نا آشنا را آشنای گوش و مایه‌ها و زنگ‌های بومی را جهانی می‌کند، صدای مرغ خوشخوان زمانه‌ی کوچ است. به روزگاری که دیار حبیب و بلاد غریب به‌غرابتی باورنکردنی درهم تابیده است و رسم غرب با نفس شرق درآمیخته است، دریا ترانه‌های گوشه و کنارهای پرت افتاده و گویش‌های نا شناخته را با آوازها و آهنگ‌های بس آشنای جهان هم‌نوا می کند. آری، این پرنده دریاست که می خواند. باری، این دریا داد ور است که می خواند تا ناهم زبانی ها و ناهمزمانی‌ها را به همدلی و هم‌آوازی برساند. در خیالم صدایش را کنار صدای حوا و آمالیا و سزاریا می نشانم و گرامی‌اش می‌دارم.

-Hello Darya jan,

Hope you are doing well & enjoy your life with friends & people who love you in Vancouver. My name is Titi. I'm so happy to know you. I love your voice & style. I canʼt explain my feeling when I listen to your music.

In my opinion, you design & ornament everything in a way it should be, very very beautiful. Your concert is an exciting journey for me whenever I attend. Iʼm not a university student in Vancouver, but Iʼm an intern architect & Iʼd love to participate in all your concert in Vancouver. Yesterday you were great as usual.

Thank you sooooooooooooo much. . They are not great, just a good memory. I've been waiting for your CD for a long time. I'm looking forward to hearing from you as soon as your CD is being published. Have a great great time.
