The music of Kurdistan, little known in the US, will be performed by Ali Akbar
Moradi, the greatest living master of the tanbur.  Known for his work as a
soloist and with Shahram Nazeri and Kayhan Kalhor, he has created new interest
for the tanbur — an ancient lute traditionally used in religious ceremonies. His
program features meditative improvisations based on the repertoire of the Yarsan
people, the followers of a mystical faith associated with Sufism, who live in
western Iran. Accompaniment will be provided by Ulas Ozdemir (baglama - lute),
and Moradi's sons, Arash (tanbur and setar - lutes) and Kourosh (percussion).</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.payvand.com/news/08/jan/1286.html"><P><FONT size="2" face="Arial"><FONT size="2"><SPAN>P</SPAN></FONT><SPAN>urchase
