Sima Bina

**Sima Bina** is an Iranian vocalist and folk music preservationist whose velvet voice has carried Persian traditions across generations. Born in Khorasan, she began singing at age 9 under the guidance of her mother, a renowned folk singer, and later trained in classical Persian *Radif* with master musician Abdollah Davami. For decades, Bina has traveled Iran’s rural heartlands, collecting and reviving nearly forgotten regional folk songs—from the soulful laments of the Dashti people to the rhythmic work chants of Khorasan’s farmers. Her recent releases, like *Faryad* and *Gole Sib (Music from Afghanistan)*, showcase her dedication to cross-cultural connections, blending Afghan and Persian folk traditions with delicate *setar* and *daf* accompaniments. Whether breathing new life into lullabies (*Awakening Lullaby*) or reimagining poetic tales (*Majnun*), Bina remains a guardian of Iran’s sonic heritage, turning ancient stories into timeless soundscapes.
