Chaharomin Djashnvareh Mousiqi Fajr
(4. Fajr Music Festival)
Khorramabad - Mahali (regional or folk music)
Beautiful recording of regional music from Lorestan. The folk music of Lorestan is mainly played on Kemencheh and Tombak. Both instruments are played here very differently from their use in classical Iranian music. On the second side one hears also an 'Ud (or Barbat). Good singer, good musicians. American edition of a cassette originally published in Iran.
