Good point. The old traditional Iraqi maqam system with long and soulful non-rhythm mawals is definitely of great value. Of course it is close to the Persian tradition and some of the musicians in Baghdad originated with families from Shiraz and knew Farsi. I spoke at length with some of them in Beirut after a concert. And yes we really need to abandon ideas of race, nationality and other prejudices when appreciating the arts. Some musicians in Iran and Iraq were actually Jewish. Dr. L. Miller

Thank you for your help and advice.
The vocal style is …
The vocal style is just traditional Persian, a tradition passed down over some 3,000 years. The most accurate and correct vocalists are: Parisa, former masters Qamar el Moluk and Taherzade and recent master Razavi. Most of the rest are questionable pop star wannabees or just not worth considering. True Persian music must be accompanied by humility and not any desire for poplarity; that is why most performers are not true to the tradition and adulterate it with westernization.. Dr. Lloyd .Miller
Hi, I am a …
Hi, I am a musician from Scotland. I have just discovered Persian music and absolutely love it! I have heard the Masters of Persian Music, The Aref Ensemble, and have been following the youtube listings for related videos. The vocal techniques and melodies are majestic and really moving. I was wondering if you could recommend any other performers or ensembles, please. Also, is there a particular name for this style of vocal music? Many thanks. Stephen
Dear friend. …
Dear friend. Actually Iranian music, if you trace its over 2,500 years of history, did start with music reveald by God to the ancient prophet David (check the Torah) and was taken to Babylon which Cyrus liberated and joined to his Achameanian empire. That is why we both love true traditional Persian music, because it originally came from God. The same cannot be said for much of Western music especially the most recent forms, Check my Farsi discussion on Persian music part 2, Dr. Lloyd Miller

@worldartsdocmiller i hope this is joke. iranian music has nothing to do with any prophet. even though i believe in our beloved prophet Muhammad, whose lovely name is the most beautiful music to my ears.
Dear friend. The …
Dear friend. The true value of traditional Persian Radif as transferred by Mirza Abdullah and Hossein Qoli and for millenia before them by guardians of pure tradition as originally gifted to mankind by God through David as it states in the Torah, is that no one took the liberty of altering the tradition because no human has the right to tamper with that which God reveals. The concept of ‘composer’ or innovator is an example of nafs or ego which must be eliminated for true art to endure.L. Miler.
Mr Lloyd Miller, …
Mr Lloyd Miller, before calling Faramarz Payvar the “worst enemy of true tradition” we should study the tradition of Persian Music during the Sassanid era. Tradition without evolution, novelties, experimentation, and instrumental and technical finessing is as dead as a fossile. Safvat was wrong, the akhunds have been destructive in every field of arts while ‘motrebi music’ is still being played. Only thanks to the people and our musicians the traditonal music has survived this cultural terror.

Dear Dr. Kurosh,
Actually it was the hard work of Dr. Safvat, Ostad Karimi and musicians of the Markaz (Center for Preservation and Propagaion) who saved Iranian music; the Golha programs were trashing and commercializing it. As for Payvar, he was the worst enemy of true tradition, I wrote hundreds of articles and reviews in all the papers and magazines in Tehran in the 70s exposing his westernization, modernization and destruction of the radif (modal collection). See my book. Dr. Lloyd Miller

Dear Dr Miller,
If we have anything left from Persian Classic music is due to men and women who worked in Golha programs during 60’s till late 70’s.
Akhunds are greatest enemy of Persian culture and intend to destroy all of it. See how lonely great maesteros Payvar and Meshkatian died in Iran. Akhunds only think about food and using children for their satinic thirst.
Regards, Dr Kourosh
Salam. Actually …
Salam. Actually thanks to the akhunds, there is still a little authentic classical dastgah music left. In the mid 1970s, real Persian music was being destroyed by modernizers, westernizers and just really bad unskilled fraudulent pop stars. The akhunds saved what was left of authentic Persian music from the destructive force of Western imperialistic expansion. Ostad Dr. Safvat said of the akhunds “at least they got rid of motrebi music” a goal that the good doctor’s center was struggling for. LM

Salam. Yes her hair was showing back in the 1970s; but she never showed herself off in a flashy manner. She is a Sufi from a very serious khaneqa that totally avoids all worldyness as much as possible. If all women singers performed only the old traditional radif and kept a humble attitude, there would onlyt be two or three Iranian women vocalists left. Then we wouldn’t need the shariat to guide us if we could guide ourselves. Enshallah some day soon the world will become pure. Dr. Lloyd Miller
