Music album pays tribute to Minab martyred students

A music album has been unveiled in honor of the martyred students in Minab.

‘Minab’s Angels’ was unveiled during a ceremony at the Tehran's City Theater, on Friday, the eighth day of the “For Iran, the Source of Art” cultural festival.

The album serves as a musical memorial for the young students of the Shajareh Tayyebeh Elementary School in Minab, Hormozgan Province, who attained martyrdom during an attack by the US. A number of cultural officials and artists attended the event.

Director General of the Music Office Babak Rezaee said the collection features works by some prominent Iranian pop vocalists, including Zanko, Ali Raha, Hatef, Mohammad Fereshtenejad, Reza Rahimian, and Amir Haqiqat.

The ceremony also featured a live performance by pop singer Zanko, who sang ‘Sleep Peacefully’.

In addition to the musical unveiling, the program included a traditional Tazieh (Iranian passion play). The performance was dedicated to the memory of the late Leader Ayatollah Khamenei and the martyred schoolchildren.

“For Iran, the Source of Art” began on April 1, continues to host various workshops, art galleries, and performances, aiming to foster national solidarity through the language of art.

On February 28, the Shajareh Tayyebeh girls' elementary school in Minab, Hormozgan province, became the site of a devastating massacre as the US attacked Iran.

While dozens of girls and boys aged between 7 and 12 were beginning their lessons, the school was targeted by a missile strike that caused the building to collapse, trapping children and teachers beneath the rubble. Iranian authorities confirmed a final death toll of 168 people, with at least 95 others wounded, marking one of the most harrowing incidents of the conflict's opening day.
