this is one of the best things on youtube, this music is so awesome

[kabuklu]

Very nice music. Very similar with Turkish/Kurdish Alevi/Kizilbash culture. This shows that there is a common collective heritage no matter what the peoples' nation is. Respects.

@kabuklu Abi, There is a common heritage because they are similar people or of different ancient tribes. When you say Turkish they are mostly converted indigenous people they are not genetically or culturally 'Turkish'. This vast portion of today's culture was here before the Oghuz came in the Oghuz occupied territories. I still believe Oghuz cultures is prevalent in some genres like in Alevi music and the Bozlaks but its mixed with indigenous culture.

This is incredible.

@kabuklu Not really, because Sayyid is a kurd, too.

[vutEwa]

smoked a big fat bowl of some mighty fine bud and this music sounds really good now.

@consunzione And this is not the real Tanbur. It's not the sacred repertoire nor the not sacred traditional one. This is a mix: Tanbur technic with folk persian music composed by this player.

@pogoism1 I will say more... there is no medieval of late iconography about this instrument... This doesn't mean that it's not very old, we know that it has been played by Yaresan for nearly 1000 years, so it has a previous long history. But maybe what we hear is an instrument very ancient, like saz, dotar, dombra ecc... played with a technic invented during 900 years by Ahl e Haq for their spiritual intents. The most beautiful composition have not more than 300 years.

@pogoism1 I have searched and watched many iconography, from ancient iran and mesopotamia, egypt. You can see lutes, a very few with pearshaped lutes but are commonly played with mezrab. There is no iconography about something like shor mezrab together with pearshaped lute. Kurdish Tamireh is more a technic and a repertoire than an instrument. If I see a pear shaped lute it can be saz, dotar, tambur, tambura.... How can I know that is the kurdish one? Only if I see shor mezrab, but we don't have

@consunzione "Historians cannot agree about the exact origins of the Kurdish/Persian tanbur, however the first documentation of its existence comes from ancient Babylon"

[consunzione]

@pogoism1 How can you say that is sumerian?
