Support for the women of Iran: Turkish singer Melek Mosso cuts her hair in the middle of a concert
Former candidate of “The Voice” in Turkey, Melek Mosso cut her hair during a concert to support the women of Iran.
A strong gesture on the part of this young woman whose outspokenness disturbs the conservatives in power.
A pet peeve of Turkish power, singer Melek Mosso hit hard on Tuesday during a concert in an amphitheater in Istanbul. After performing a few songs, the young woman explained to the public her desire to pay tribute to Mahsa Amini, the Iranian who died on September 16, three days after being arrested by the morality police who accused her of not covering up properly. her hair.
After explaining that the mobilization of his “Iranian sisters should not be silenced”, Melek Mosso cut off several of his brown locks using a pair of scissors to the applause of the crowd. A sequence quickly became viral on social networks.
Melek Mosso, 33, was revealed in 2015 thanks to her participation in the local edition of “The Voice”. Since then, she has become one of the most popular singers of the new generation by mixing pop music and traditional sounds. But his freedom of tone and his look – mini-shorts, bare shoulders and visible tattoos – are not to the taste of the AKP, the Islamo-conservative bet of President Erdogan.
Last June, the town hall of the city of Isparta where Melek Mosso was to perform canceled his concert under pressure from a conservative group who accused him of an “immoral” attitude. At the time, the young woman denounced those who “question her morality” and promised that she would return to perform in this city known as the capital of roses.
