reg-e nava hossein alizadeh

 

It’s no secret that Persian musicians are pretty serious guys and gals. Have you ever been to a Persian concert?

It’s no dance party, that’s for sure. But if you take a really good look at the music, and the history, you’ll find that Persian music has dance written all over it.

That’s what I’m going to demonstrate this week…

No, I’m not going to dance…

I’ll perform a little bit of traditional Persian dance music on the Oud.

 

Dance Musical Form

 

In Persian music, one of the main dance tunes is called, “Reng”. These pieces are always in 6/8, and they are quite dancible. I’ll perform an excerpt from Hossein Alizadeh’s Reng-e Nava.

Watch the video below!

 

 

Reng-e Nava by Hossein Alizadeh can be found on Spotify.
