Taraneh Records

Taraneh Records (also presented as Taraneh Enterprise) is a record label based in Los Angeles, California, dedicated to Persian-language music and media. It is widely described as the largest manufacturer and distributor of Iranian (Persian) media in the United States, covering CDs, DVDs and, historically, VHS tapes. Its catalogue spans both contemporary and older Persian music releases as well as films on DVD, making it a central archive and pipeline for Iranian popular culture in the diaspora. The label's identity is closely tied to the Iranian exile and diaspora music scene. According to its own materials, Taraneh was established in Iran and later established operations in the United States, where it built a global distribution network for Persian music. Its official site presents a timeline reaching back to 1970 and forward through the 2020s, highlighting milestones such as early releases, the launch of a YouTube channel, digital satellite distribution, and a new generation of artists. The label markets itself as "the world's most recognized Persian record label" and "the label that brought Persia's voice to the world." Taraneh's roster has included prominent exiled Iranian singers and musicians, and its releases have helped preserve and circulate Persian pop, traditional and contemporary music for listeners inside Iran and across the diaspora. Beyond recorded music, the company has been a major supplier of Iranian films and video content, positioning it as a broad media company rather than only a music label. In the digital era, Taraneh has expanded into streaming and online distribution, with its music available on major platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube. Its official website promotes exclusive behind-the-scenes content, unreleased demos, artist stories and rare studio material, alongside artist development, global distribution and new music releases. The label continues to present itself as a bridge between five decades of Persian music heritage and a new generation of artists and audiences worldwide.
