Shahram Nazeri; African musics

Today we hear another wonderful performance by Shahram Nazeri, this one a concert recorded in France with the Dastan Ensemble, in its younger guise with Kayhan Kalhor. He sings in a suite with compositions from Hamid Motebassem which also includes vocal and instrumental improvisations. As mentioned last week, Shahram Nazeri is one of the most essential singers for me, full of rich expression and mastery, he has had a singular influence on my musical world over the past 25 years, and he is coming to Ottawa in two weeks!!! Do not miss this extremely rare opportunity to hear the greatest Sufi voice from Iran.
