Rumi Poetry – Persian Music and Singing

An example of what could be considered an authentic Persian poetry performance. The use of instrumentation native to Iran, played in that scale creates a completely different sonic environment when compared to any Coleman Barks performance. The use of the Persian language also further displays a level of sonic complexity and melody not seen in the Coleman Barks counterpart. One thing i really love about this performance is, as the performers sing there seems to be a real connection and passion as well as a level of authenticity in the performance.
