Performers: Ali Akbar Moradi (voice, tanbur), Abbas Bakhtiari (daf, tombak), Kouroch Moradi (daf, tombak)

Playing time: 61'55"

Recording date: October 2000 (Paris)

Ali Akbar Moradi has produced other recordings, on the Kereshmeh and Quartertone labels. These programs relate more to both the usual "world music" scene as well as traditional Persian concert music. The present recital has a particularly austere quality.

A recording featuring similar sacred music (also from the Ahl-Haqq religion) by a larger ensemble:

Chants Sacrés Kurdes
Une fête du divin
Ensemble Razbar
Arion ARN 64527

Sections of that disc are very similar to the present one, but that disc also features some rather simple group chanting.

To purchasing information for this disc.
