Barobax

Barobax are an Iranian pop band, with all the members living in Tehran, Iran. They have had their music distributed internationally by record labels such as Avang Music and M4 Records.[1] Their album "Wag" was released on November 1, 2009. Filmed on location in Paris Café featuring Gamno, Barobax released Soosan Khanoom on January 16, 2010.

Name

The name "Barobax" is a satirical reference to pronunciation of the Persian bar o bacheh (بر و بچه, "kids" or "friends") by the wealthier uptown citizens of north Tehran.[2] The band changed the slang pronunciation barobach (بروبچ) to barobax.[3]

Songs

Some of the inspiration for the lyrics of their earlier songs came from the lyrics of old Iranian children's songs that the band heard from others, in addition to those lyrics that they created and those from other songs that they changed.[4]
