Marjan Vahdat is a celebrated Iranian singer and musician living in exile in California. With her albums, she has brought a deeper knowledge of Iranian poetry and music to large audiences on all continents. Marjan Vahdat has developed her personal style based on the Persian vocal tradition of classical and regional folk music with a contemporary expression.

Her new album "The Eagle of my Heart" (a capella) was recorded in the Toyen Church in Oslo and produced by the Norwegian Erik Hillestad. On the new album, Marjan has included some recordings of voices that have shaped her as a singer, including these a cappella, almost like a documentary pause in her otherwise meditative and very beautiful performance.
