The reference for traditional and authentic Iranian music
Masooumeh Dadebala (April 10, 1942 – January 20, 1990), known professionally as Hayedeh, was an Iranian singer. Her strong sense of musical timing, having a smooth rhythm in performance, and poetic and effective musical expression, along with the combination of throat power and skill in vocal techniques, had given her special voice a rare quality and timbre for singing. Hayedeh had a vocal range from contralto to mezzo-soprano. She lived in Iran in her early life, then stayed in England for a while in 1978, and then went to the United States and lived in Los Angeles until the end of her life.
Hayedeh is remembered as one of the most popular contemporary singers of Iran. With more than two decades of activity, about one hundred and fifty songs have been left from her, many of which have been recorded in the collective memory of Iranians.
Like many other singers, she collaborated with Taraneh Records to distribute her music. She was the older sister of another Iranian singer, Mahasti.
