Iranian music is inescapably political. Since the Islamic Revolution in 1979, music there has been subject to heavy censorship by the government. Before then, musical expression ebbed and flowed alongside a social and political landscape that was in constant motion. How Iran's music tells the history of the country from the early 20th century to today is the subject of a new book, "Iran Amplified: One Hundred Years of Music and Society." Co-editor Nahid Siamdoust joins Host Marco Werman to talk about that history.
