Hi all the music lovers .....
As this is the first post in this blog so I'd like to say some about the golds of this blog and what am I doing this for.
When I was at my hometown and I was planning to move to India one of my friends who has a music shop and sales records of Iranian Music told me.....When you come back bring me a recording of Sitar that was the first time that I heart the name of this instrument... That time I never knew one day I would be studying Indian Music but now days I'm glad of having the opportunity to learn this spiritual instrument and music which has alot in common with Iranian Music.
So what I'm trying to show as i've mentioned in the discription of the blog is to highlight and show the differences and similarities between this to music and also explain each of them individually and separately and aside this I will be introducing Iranian msuical Instrument as well as Indians. I will surly need the help of those Indians and Iranians Whom are into their music and anybody else from anywhere else which Knows about any of this two music. I hope we will get to someting through this work because as far as I know no one has seriously worked on this matter and the only practical work is Ghazzal Ensemble compriseing Ustad Keyhan Kalhor, Ustad Shujaat Hussain Khan which is duet of Kamancheh(fiddle-Spike) and Sitar accompanied by tabla. So mail me what you think is necessary to be posted in this page.

Hey Sina jan :)
I suggest you put up some useful, and trustworthy links on the topic of these particular types of music. This will help those of us who are not familiar, or only partially familiar with this subject. People can learn and become active members of this blog. Dorost ya na?

Hi,
I remember you left a note on my wall about your blog which I deleted by mistake. That being said, I think your blog requires a bit more content. Also, I think you should extend beyond just Ghazal. But then, there isn't really much in terms of musical collaboration right now between Indian and Persian music. I've been hearing of the group Niyaz, particularly the singer Azam Ali but they're more along the lines of modern fusion. There's hardly anything along classical lines right now.
You could also go into history a bit, like the development of the sitar as a hybrid between the original Persian lute and the Indian veena. Then there's also the development of Taranas in Hindustani music by Amir Khusrow who incorporated Farsi words into shlokas sung by Dhrupadiyas.
These are just some ideas. But I have a feeling there's very limited stuff that you can do with regard to this topic, unless you really want to research into it.
