Important Works
Vigen's unassuming charm and his warm voice played a major role in ensuring him continued success and many of his songs became iconic among Iran's most notable folk music. He was consistently voted the most popular singer and songwriter of the country by an overwhelming majority of Iranians. Among his notable songs are "Baroon Barooneh" (it's drizzling), "Asbeh Ablagh" (thoroughbred horse), "Mahtab" (Moonlight), Lala'ee (Lullaby), and "Deleh Divaneh" (crazy heart.)
After the Islamic Revolution of 1978, Vigen immigrated to the United States and settled in California, where he and many expatriate Iranian performers continued their artistic works. He celebrated the 50th anniversary of his career at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles in February 2001.
