It's Still Just Everything This Year.

During the 2021 Super Bowl I talked about the; "Rambling House" tradition. The songs people used to sing together at home. To entertain themselves before recorded, let alone Internet streamed, music was an option.
France had a variation on this tradition. The Chanteur/Chanteuse. French being a gendered language.
These are singers who would perform anywhere they could. Often just out on the street.
Unlike traditional buskers though. They wouldn't just ask passers-by for money. Instead they'd sell them the sheet music of the songs they'd just performed. So they could sing them in their rambling houses.
Unlike most musicians during the pandemic. Barbara Pravi has had some success selling her music on TikTok. For people to use in their videos. An emerging trend within the music industry.
TikTok is a subsidary of the Chinese company ByteDance. Making it an example of Chinese infrastructure. More than touching on the "Belt and Road Initiative." A massive Chinese infrastructure building project based on the trade links of the Silk Road.
Despite adopting a Serbian family name Barbara Pravi is half-Iranian. As in the Iran, a deal on whose nuclear program the current US Biden regime has been trying to ram down everyone's throats. With all the finese of a teenage virgin giggling over a porno.
As a woman of Iranian heritage Barbara Pravi resembles Desiree Arkhavan. Famous for the TV show; "The Bisexual."
The song is the turbulence of the singer's internal struggle. At using her sexuality to help sell her musical talent. The #MeToo issue of how much of either is public property or private possession.

That's before we even get into things like her father being Hossein Zenderoudi. Widely credited as one of the founders of the Iranian Modern Art movement.
Or that probably the most famous chanteuse was Edif Piaf. Who was involved in the French Resistence during World War Two.
A guerillia force born out of the Irish Civil War. The 100th anniversary of which is being marked this year.
