Humnawazi - Ardeshir Kamkar, Behdad Babaei, and Sina Fakhroddin Ghaffari

Three artists from Tehran presented a Persian 'humnawazi' reminding us of the roots of our own musical heritage.

23 December 2018

Persian classical music, characterised by its raw earthy sound, is similar in pacing to a Hindustani classical performance, but without the set structure of a raag. Melancholic folk melodies and improvisations generated by simple instruments are reminiscent of the rich cultured past of Iran. This show explored the timeless combination of string and percussion instruments.
