Arghavan album[]

Her first independent album was released in April 2019 under the name of Arghavan. This album was composed by Sorena Sefati. In this album, the poems of poets such as Hushang Ebtehaj, Mohammad-Reza Shafiei Kadkani and Hafez have been used. Mojgan Shajarian says about the name of this album: "The name Arghavan tells the story of the suffering of the people of our land, as well as those who have been forced to emigrate but have never taken root in their homeland." Regarding the restrictions on the release of music albums with women's voices in Iran, Mojgan Shajarian published a post on social media: "Due to the unjust laws governing our country, it is not possible to publish Arghavan's album, and for this reason, Arghavan is available for free on the Internet to those interested in Iran."[13][14][15]
