Mina Jafari (Persian: مینا جعفری) is an Iranian chorister. She began her work with Tehran Symphony Orchestra[1] and went on to be part of several important choirs like National Orchestra Choir and Damour Vocal Band led by Faraz Khosravi Danesh.[2] Her work as a female singer in Iran was groundbreaking at the time, she and her choir performed in national TV which was dubbed "breaking yet another taboo" by the media[3] because women are not allowed to sing in Islam. Her performance made way for more female choirs to perform in national TV.[4]
She was part of the Avaye Mahan choir in Asia Pacific Choir Games 2017 in Sri Lanka[5] and performed with Tehran Symphony Orchestra in Italy.[6][7]
Her Album with Damour Vocal Band is released internationally[8][9] and ever since her taboo breaking performance she has performed in Iranian national TV with different choirs.
