When I was young or even until now that I am pushing through 30s. I was never a fan of traditional Persian music (sonati).
My eclectic taste of music expanse from Opera, Jazz, African, European pop and classics, North African to south American… but never got close to sonati music, it was as if it required a different blood type than mine ...
About two years ago I was introduced to a new band called “Namâd Ensemble”. They have a new, unique and delightful style, while holing on to the traditional music and instruments.
Last weekend we saw their latest concert in LA, introducing their new released album “Ossyan”. The music was very refreshing and vocals as great. They used beautiful poems from Forough Farrokhzad and Siavash Kasraei , something that you don’t hear very often….. with an exhilarating improvisations of traditional instruments.
We got the CD as well and for last few days we have been listening to it every day, that is unfathomable for me.
I just wished they would be there afterward signing CDs or even during the intermission…
If you are a fan of Sonati music or even not, I suggest try this album. You may like it.
