He was barred from releasing records, traveling and performing live, and was ordered to report repeatedly to the Revolutionary Courts. He recalls that he believed changing his career would be an obvious insult to music and to himself and a way of ignoring his cultural roots. Years of silence passed before the government gave him permission to release a studio album, Sib-e Noghre'e, or The Silver Apple. Barred from records, travel and the stage, and still unwilling to change careers, he appears here in a long wait rather than a quick exit, one that the permission for an album finally ended. Born in 1946 into a well-off family, Yaghmaei got into music as a child when his father gave him a santur, which he says his father bought him as a present when he was 10. In his teens he started a first band with friends, and in 1964, at 18, he started his official career by founding and leading the instrumental rock band The Raptures. Moving from a santur his father chose to vinyl imports of The Ventures covers a wide stretch of sound. His music combined Iranian melodies, instrumentals, vocals and tones with Western harmonies, scales and modes. Younger artists credit him today for helping lay the foundations of Iranian rock, Vice says, and Gole Yakh, mellow piano chords and featherlight drums included, has proven one of his most enduring songs. The lyrics of Gole Yakh are a poem by Mehdi Akhavan Langroudi, a classmate of Yaghmaei at the National University of Iran. A song set to a classmate's poem, with mellow piano and soft drums, sounds like a quiet place for East and West to meet, which fits the hybrid of Eastern and Western music in his work. Yaghmaei used his Instagram page in December 2025 to announce that he would retire, following the release of his final album, No. 44, after a six-decade career in rock music. Ending a six-decade career with an album and an announcement gives the story a clear last page.
