X DOT 25 Music - Mojdeh Bedeh - Kamil Alipour

Visit: http://www.xdot25.com/albums/moondance.htm the full album. A nice Persian Neu-Traditional music video! The traditional sounds of Persia come to life on this song from Songs of Enchanted. Composed, arranged and performed by Kamil Alipour the instrumental version of this song is also included in an all-instrumental album entitled "Moon Dance". Classical Persian music is an ancient art form who's integrity and character must be preserved by those who have lived and breathed its essence for a great number of years; Kamil Alipour is one such musician. He displays remarkable skill and versatility on both Taar (a six stringed instrument with a sheep skin sound board, two resonance chambers and 27 moveable frets) and Se-Taar (a three stringed instrument with a wooden sound board and a single resonance chamber). The deft touch of Kamil Alipour results in a beautiful music that is not only logical and technical, but highly emotional and spiritual as well; it is a delight to experience. He began studying the Taar at the Tehran Academy of Music, under the guidance of Ustaad (master) Ali-Akbar Shahnaazi. Later he attended Tehran University, where he expanded his knowledge of Persian classical music theory, while studying Setaar, Daff, and traditional singing techniques. He plays all the instruments found on this album, with the exception of the Zarb. He also has composed and arranged all of the music in this recording. Kamil Alipour shows adept versatility on, both, Taar and Setaar, creating beautiful solo improvisations, some of which took as much time to record as it takes you to listen. His music is technical as well as logical and emotional as well as spiritual. In short "a mere pleasure".
