'Maria También' tells the story of Iranian women prior to the revolution of 1979.
Celebrating their creativity, freedom and ability to express themselves.

The women in the video are all part of a large network of artists, singers, dancers and songwriters who have been either exiled or silenced since the revolution.

Khruangbin hopes to bring these remarkable women back into the spotlight and honour the artistry of silenced women everywhere.

The music consists of sharp, crisp drums, a weaving guitar melody and a soft, punctuated bass. A female voice whispers 'Maria, Maria', creating a groovy and seductive piece of music. The video opens with the sound of newsreaders describing Persia as 'rising in the world', Tehran as 'leaning more west than east' and miniskirts bringing 'a new freedom of expression'. Pre-80s archive clips of female artists, singers and dancers are edited together - then, at the push of a button by a man in a control room, the performers disappear, leaving an empty stage. The final scene cuts to a modern Iranian shop window with long subdued froral dresses and hijabs. Several women in black hijabs walk by. One of the women stops briefly to look at some items, with her is a little girl wearing a headscarf and bright red pink clothes.
