[JCKCPA]

What did Erik say?

[kandooservices1]

How great is this guy. I must find his album. The band at my wedding played a soul version of Careless Whisper which was really cool!!!

[100raslas]

that this musician would come to Brazil



[suerayss]

Wow. What a beautiful instrument and such melody played so beautifully.

We are living in such great times and I hope that instead of flaming each other lets enjoy the musical wealth of this planet irrespective of where it came from, who is playing it or who owns what. Music is gift that one must have the humility to accept and say nothing but thanks for the privelege to listen.

So thanks ANTHONYSHAMS and FARHAD.

BTW that instrument resembles Santoor in India which orginated from persia.

[MrAllendelon]

[nodeterin]

[executive38]

Everything is ASSYRIAN. they were the first people to creat it. Go look between 3 to 5 thousand years BC...

[AmirMartin77]

its persian

[211428]

so its not Greeks instrumant or Turkish or kurdy !!! its arabic ! we don't use stik this is with fingers !

[211428]

The qanún or kanun (Arabic: قانون qānūn, plural قوانين qawānīn; Azerbaijani: Qanun; Turkish: kanun; Armenian: քանոն qānon; Greek κανών 'measuring rod; rule' akin to καννα 'cane') is a string instrument found in Near Eastern traditional music based on Maqamat. It is basically a zither with a narrow trapezoidal soundboard. Nylon or PVC strings are stretched over a single bridge poised on fish-skins on one end, attached to tuning pegs at the other end.

[aristarhoss]

Originally it is greek instrument kanun=kanonas in greek language. Pythagoras was the first kanunmaker

[felistigris]

Sure, every f.ing thing is Greek. You people don't know to appreciate great music? regardless of origin of instrument or artist?

[jivanballplaya89]

@aristarhoss No, in his time the common instruments were the kithara and the lyra there was no such thing as a kanun. They are early predecessors to it though in that case you're right. But trust me I studies this in my university music lectures, they weren't kanuns back then.

[skooterkid]

It's called MUSIC, people!

Stop arguing because you all sound like fools. Enjoy music for what it is...emotion.

Grow up.

[mikeynutz214]

WTF????? Stick to building islands and indoor ski resorts, leave the music up to us.

[ANTHONYSHAMS]

Aaah Erik, So American of you to say that. Your comment makes me feel like giving my U.S. citizenship back.

[Hesam0000]

He's from Germany and probably Iranian himself. Why else would he support Mojahedine Khalgh :)

Erik = Esmail

[skooterkid]

That person's ignorance is sickening.

[erik531]

iranian arab fuck u both .. stop it...

[cybermotaz]

Iran was part of arabia for many centuries under the muslim rule...then under the turkish rule, before that arabs and turks were under persian rule...we are trying to spread hairs here...it's a legacy of the middle east...as a matter of fact the guy who first wrote the ntoes for it lived in spain..it was a muslim country at the time...he's a european/north african mix...

[Hesam0000]

The barbarian arabs attacked Persia and passed through it for only 200 years out of that land's 7000 year history(Omayyad+Abbasi-660-860­ad) and even then persians ruled themselves locally. Turks never controlled the whole Iran/Persia. They only controlled western states Palestine/Syria/Baghdad/Kurdes­tan/azarbaijan when they were Persian territory for 100 years in 1500-1600s.

[ukt000]

Kanun is not persian is Arabian

[tucorreomispolainas]

this is careless whispers arabian version... nice

[parandehdarya]

he is not arab..hes iranian...

[goezoe]

[dbadagna]

I have never seen anyone hold their qanun in this way; is this this musicians' personal innovation?

[3zaziqtr]

[boguspurr]

Why is the sax player (who knows what he's doing) hanging out with this bunch of clowns?

[oudguy]

[xjaat]

it was intiated by the Ancient Egyptians, go to the temple in Luxor, you'll see piles of them there.

[AvazFreedom]

We brought music to the world...The first music school in Spain was funded by the Persian musician, Zaryab (Arab's called him Ziryab). The guitar Gheytar was a Persian invention.

This is an awesome piece. Thanks.

Noroozetan pirooz.

[tifashetos]

[epaiwn]
