live
rendition by Shajarian and son performed after the 2003 Bam
earthquake. We have featured the Salar Aghili version above
because the orchestra may enhance the enjoyment of the song
as more than a language lesson because it falls more in the
"comfort zone" of those not used to traditional Iranian
styles of music. Also, here is a new, contemporary rendition
by
Kiosk, Mohsen Namjoo and Ahmad Kiarostami. |
