Shusha.

Shusha, née Shamsi Ass?r (married name Shusha Guppy ) was a Persian singer/actress/writer resident in London, she sang a mix of Persian and western folk songs, so was probably a very early 'world'musican.Quite a lot older then she looked , ( born 1935) she died in 2008 aged 72. Playing with her is her partner in those years, Gerald Moore of GT Moore and the Reggae Guitars, along with Martin from the same group.
