Nematollah Azmoodeh (; 21 July 1939 â 6 November 2005), also known as Nematollah Aghasi () and commonly addressed by the mononym Aghasi (Persian: or ), was an Iranian singer and songwriter. He was one of the most notable pre-Revolution singers.
Aghasi was born on 21 July 1939 in Ahvaz. He was interested in sports and was active in the Taj Club of Ahvaz. As a young man, he began to read music.
Aghasi's songs include ("Amane" ) and ("Labeh kaaroon" ). After his successful performances in Laleh-Zar, he was the first Laleh-Zari singer to have his voice broadcast on Iranian National Radio and Television.
Vaveyla Leyli was one of the songs played on Iranian Voice and television. A cover of this song was also released in 2012 by Shahram Shabpareh.
Andranik Madadian and Nematollah Aghasi once performed Ameneh in a joint US concert.
Two years before his death, Aghasi was allowed to return to the Pars Theater in Laleh-Zar, where he began his artistic career, for the first time since the Revolution. The event was so welcomed that the city closed the street in celebration.
In 2005, Aghasi died of a stroke at his home in Karaj, and he was buried in Emamzadeh Taher cemetery.
Aghasi also worked as a film actor. He was invited to working in cinema by Manouchehr Nozari. He has recorded ten films throughout his career.
