“I’m still thinking that before I quit I’m going to have a concert in Iran,” said the Iranian icon. Ebi moved to Los Angeles, two years before the 1979 revolution in Iran, and continued his career in exile. In 1977, Hamedi performed in a New York club and was invited to perform for a few months at an L.A. cabaret. “At this time, the revolution started,” he said. It’s not something Hamedi is thrilled about, but he realizes that a homegrown talent show can’t exist in Iran at the moment.
