Where this album fits

Career context
In 2016, Kourosh Yaghmaei released 'Malek Jamshid' as his first album in nearly two decades, following a lengthy hiatus since his last project in the late 1990s. This marked a significant return for Yaghmaei, who had been a pioneering figure in Iranian rock and blues music during the 1970s but faced censorship and exile.
