The Shanbehzadeh’s Ensemble offers a unique aspect of hypnotic dances and
traditional music from the Persian Gulf and more precisely from the unkown region of
Boushehr.
The main instruments include the Neyanban (Iranian bagpipe), Neyjoti (double flute),
Dammam (dual faced percussion), Zarbetempo (percussion), traditional flute, Senj (local
type of cymbals) and Boogh (horns).
Founded in 1990, this Ensemble directed by Saeid Shanbehzadeh delighted audiences in
Iran, Europe and North America with the hypnotic rhythms and melodies of this amazing
music.
TRADITIONAL MUSIC FROM BOUSHEHR
Boushehr is situated far of the centre of Iran, near the south-west coast of the Persian Gulf.
This city lives at the rythm of a tradition and a culture different from the North, especially from
the region of Teheran.
The history of Boushehr is the symbol of a fishing village which has become a strategic war
area.
Down the centuries, Arabian, African, Indian, Armenian and Jewish populations integrated
the city and participated to the local trade.
The music from the city of Boushehr arose from the unique combination of Persian, Arab,
African and Indian traditions that came together centuries ago in this southern Iranian cultural
crossroad on the Persian Gulf.
This diversity results from the wealth of local traditions in which music plays a vital role in all
aspects of life: religion, work, social events, drama, music therapy and trance.
