Improvisational Iranian Music – Saturday Oct. 8, 2011

Hadi Karimi Asil and Ahmad Yousefbeigi, both native Iranians, met at a musical gathering in Seattle in 2010. After playing together for several minutes- Hadi on Tar (a Persian fretted string instrument) and Ahmad on Tonbak (a carved goblet drum) – they realized their approach to music was very similar. Their musical storytelling is completely improvised, engaging and conversational; it depends on the moment and no two performances are identical. Their first improvised performance at the 2011 Northwest Folklife Festival received a standing ovation.
