Fans' Reaction to the song


Giving a brief history of the song, a YouTube user commented, "The song is a duet between an Iranian white woman and a Zangi black man (Afro-Iranian with origin from Zanzibar) from southern Iran. In the song, the woman affectionately tells the man that he has captivated her heart. The man, in turn, playfully urges her to dance, complimenting her beauty, asking her so shake her chest that reminds him of white marble. This humorous and old song symbolizes the harmonious integration of African culture into Iranian society. It stands as a testament to peaceful cultural blending, countering narratives that view such historical interactions through a lens of racism. The song serves as a reminder of the importance of embracing diversity in contemporary society."


Another user wrote, "As an Iranian I really appreciate choosing this nostalgic song of our culture. God bless all."
