Dr Maryam Vejdani Jahromi Shares the Music and Dance of her Persian/Iranian Culture
I had never imagined how difficult and at the same time exciting it would be to pick a window to open to a culture among the various dimensions of it. I selected windows to Persian/Iranian music/dance and art/handcrafts and hope that you enjoy them:
Traditional Persian/Iranian Music
Music is a fundamental part of the Persian/Iranian culture. This is a sample of traditional music performed in Iran a few years ago with a number of traditional instruments including ?Tar?, ?Santoor?, ?Daf?, ?Tonbak?, ?Kamanche?, ?Nei?, ?Rubab?,?Oud?.
Traditional Persian Dance
Persian traditional/Sufi dance, ?Sama?, is a transcendental Sufi dance that means ?listening?. Origination of ?Sama? has been credited to Rumi, the great Persian poet.
