This blog makes a very interesting comparison between Anoushirvan Rohani’s “Tavalodet Mobarak”, which has become our single national birthday song, and a piece which he suspects being an official source of inspiration to the Rohani composition! Namely “La Cucaracha”. I must say that I had heard both pieces separately before and never picked on the parallels, but with this suggestion as a backdrop I can definitely hear what he is referring to. Especially when you hear the Liberace rendering. What do you guys think? By the way doesn’t young Liberace look very much like young Rohani?!! Or vice versa!
