شما به عنوان یک ایرانی توانستید اصالت خود را در مقابل یک اثر موسیقی کاملا نشان دهید؟ همچنین با مقایسه کردن با دیگران(که یک زائده فرهنگی و خانوادگی است) حسادت و نفرت خود را نسبت به اهل هنر نشان دادید. پس دیگر نگویید چرا ایران این شد و ان شد، جوابش در ذهن کوچک توست. بیدار شو!

Melody of this piece is has no meaningful or sensual motif. If for one second in the mind of the creator there is an illusion of becoming Mr. Alizadeh, Never Mind that. Change of rhythm or tempo is very different from confusing the listener to point that he will cry for his mama. Listener with healthy ear, which is hard to come by these days (example : KCET)

They are all good, and tombak player is also doing a great job as u mentioned

[karz12]

because this is not classical Persian music.

I'm a tonbak player, I have been practicing for a long time and had many performances in Iran and all over the word...I can't regret that the rhythm of this piece was confusing and complected.... Great Job mani bolouri and Lian Ensemble
