All music performances in Iran have to be approved by the Ministry of Islamic guidance which vets the lyrics and even disapproves sometimes of the style of the music if it's seen as too western or decadent. </DIV> <DIV class=storytext> </DIV> Despite those restrictions, over the last few years Iranian pop music has become more and more westernised. In a taxi you'll often hear house or rap music with lyrics in Farsi. There are still no music videos - dancing is completely banned - and western groups are rarely if ever heard on radio or TV.   Chris de Burgh is due to play alongside the Iranian band Arian, one of the first pop groups in Iran to include women in the line-up, though women are still not allowed to perform as solo singers. According to Arian's manager, Chris de Burgh and Arian have already worked together to record a 'song for peace'. The manager said the song was intended to reflect the peace-seeking spirit of the Iranian people to the world.       Jon Leyne, BBC News Teheran </TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>     .................................................................................................................   WORDS   ● ground-breaking    innovative, pioneering, new   ● no doubt    certainly   ● delicate    careful and sensitive (here)   ● vets    screens, looks closely at   ● decadent    morally degenerate or questionable   ● restrictions    limitations   ● lyrics    words for songs   ● rarely    seldom, infrequently, not often   ● due to    scheduled to, going to   ● line-up    programme, list of artists (here)     IELTS school 알츠스쿨 <A href="http://cafe.daum.net/vvvivvv">http://cafe.daum.net/vvvivvv</A> </BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV>
