Artistic life
editAfter completing his high school education, Golnaraghi engaged in his father's business, which involved buying and selling antique crystal and china.[1]
Golnaraghi is primarily known as a prominent singer. The song "Mara Beboos" is one of the two songs he sung. This song is among the most nostalgic and widely listened to Iranian songs. One reason for the popularity of this song is its association with the 1953 Iranian coup d'état, during which its melancholic lyrics resonated with millions of Iranians affected by the coup. Another reason is that the poem was written by Heydar Raqabi, a political activist from the 1930s in Iran.
The music for the song "Mara Beboos" was composed by Majid Vafadar, and it featured the violin performance of Parviz Yahaghi. The song was initially used in a film starring Zhaleh Olov, and later, it found its way to the radio.
