Fātemeh Vā'ezi (Persian: فاطمه واعظی) (born 15 March 1950 in Tonekabon, Iran), commonly known by her stage name Parīsā (Persian: پریسا), is a Persian classical vocalist and musician.
A student of maestro Mahmoud Karimi, Parisa has published several albums and performed concerts throughout the world, sometimes with the Dastan ensemble. Her major debut in Tehran was a concert at the Iran-America Society arranged by Lloyd Miller, a disciple of Dr. Daryush Safvat. After that concert, Miller, through writing reviews and other articles in various Tehran newspapers and magazines, was able to influence the Ministry of Culture to allow Parisa to be transferred to his Center for Preservation and Propagation of Iranian Music, where her skills as a purely traditional dastgah vocalist would enhance their excellent instrumental ensemble.
After she was established at the Center, Miller convinced the CBS Iran A&R person to produce tapes of Parisa with the Center's instrumental ensemble, the most sought after being in Dastgah-e Mahur and Dastgah-e Nava. These became hit releases and Parisa was invited to perform Chahargah at the famous Shiraz Arts Festival and other major venues. Her best work was with the Center where now famous virtuosi such as Dr. Dariush Talai (Tar (lute), Setar), Hossein Alizadeh (Tar, Setar), Jalal Zolfonun (Setar) and Majid Kiani (Santour) were established.
Parisā (Persian: پریسا) (pronounced pə-REE-sa) is a Persian given name for girls that means 'like a fairy'.
The ancient Persian name "Parysatis" (Persian: پریساتیس) is related to this name. Two notable women with the name "Parysatis" are: Parysatis, who was the wife of Darius II (Persian: داريوش دوم), (Dārayavahuš), king of the Persian Empire and Parysatis II, the youngest daughter of Artaxerxes III of Persia, who was the wife of Alexander the Great.
"Pari" can be used as a diminutive of Parisa. Pari (Persian: پری) (pronounced pər-REE) means "fairy" and is used as a name of its own right as well. Pari does not mean angel. "Fereshteh" (Persian: فرشته) is a feminine given name which actually happens to mean angel. The Pari (or Peri) in Persian mythology are described to be a race of beautiful and benevolent supernatural fairy beings, earlier regarded as malevolent. Risa (given name) can be used as a nickname also.
Notable people with the name Parisa include:
Again I start this but I'll add a new twist
So the masses can't resist
The message brought by a Panther strictly
To relieve the disease of the sickly
So long your mind's been trapped
Slave, 'cause you're shamed to be black
Ignorant of the purpose of the plan
To keep the black man down under
So I'll address y'all this time
Make a statement that's on my mind
Brothers scared of revolution should be
Thinkin' of the way that we could be
Miss blue eyes, how'd you do that?
Tried to put him in but the skin is still black
Thinkin' of a way to escape the darkness
See the weave and indeed I start this off
Black is black is black is black off
Black is black is black is black
S E D I T I O N
In the mood of the move I'm showin'
See the way the clinches have been torn
Cold spittin' facts to the miracle Earth born
So what's your next move, black?
Go to school or maybe join a frat
Still you seem lost, the mind is brainwashed
It can't be good 'cause your mind's the cost
So flip on your Young MC
Or Jazzy Jeff or whatever the case be
Mindless music for the masses makes ya
Think less of the one that hates ya
Then trained to respect the game
And you turn your back on a black with the same claim
Oh, blessed but you guess they mean less
Because another brother can't afford to dress
The way you do but who said you're all that?
Made a little money, now your skin ain't black?
C'mon I don't think your shit don't stink
You can't run from the one whose primal instinct
Is to fought the words I taught ya
Thought you moved quick but I just caught ya
Now you try to say that you don't remember me
I'm P-Dog from the B.P. posse
Or a mob, that's known as Scarface
Pro-black and some think pro-hate
But in fact it's a call for unity
Heed the plea of weak we're soon to be
Move, start this
Black is black is black is black
Enter the dark side
Black is black is black is black
Yeah, funky
Dance
Now who did you think that you were steppin' to
Once your job came through
Don't get big, 'cause I caught your accent
Shoulda been real but you wanted mass appeal
Next time you might think of this
Might remember why I'm above this
But for now, my brother, I'll say
