FARAMARZ ASLANI IN CONCERT:
Guitar virtuoso and crooner Faramarz Aslani has been delighting audiences with his brooding vocals and classical acoustic style for nearly 40 years. He combines beautiful strumming and intricate finger picking with his smooth voice during his live performances of hits like "Days of Song and Sorrow" and "Rumi (The Beloved Is Here)". On his legendary tours Aslani treats ticket buyers to his timeless, beautiful collection of hits.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Born in Tehran, Iran, Faramarz Aslani grew up playing music and singing, but he never considered it as a full-time career. While pursuing a journalism degree at London University he performed music in his free time, and when a CBS producer discovered his hidden talents Aslani signed with the company. The soon-to-be-famous classical guitar player released the song "Ageh Ye Rooz" in 1977, and it became a staple of Iranian music and culture in the '70s. A number of successful records followed over the next few decades, earning Aslani much critical acclaim and commercial success.He has been credited for popularizing his intriguing folk-pop style in Iran and has inspired a range of singers to cover his songs in their native languages. Aslani has performed for audiences worldwide, and his live shows prove to be as authentic and passionate as his recorded music.

by Sultan2 on 11/6/13Warner Theatre - WashingtonFaramarz & Babak were great. I loved the entire show, the great classic and new songs from Faramrz Aslani and Babak's playing. They played over 2 hours. The combination of songs were great, somewhat on the mellow side. The accompanying band was good, but they were not always in sync with each other. I particularly liked couple of the traditional music solos that Babak played, except when the guy on flute started playing and he was totally out of line from the song. I hope Babak plays those just solo and not mix it with any other instruments or players. The crowd was very good too. I particularly liked it that the ushers allowed people to take pictures (no flash) or record some of the performance.

by Payaam on 11/3/13Warner Brother - Washington D.C.This was a great concert for any of you Faramarz Aslani fans or just fans of flamenco music. I saw Aslani 4 years ago when he was by himself, now he has a whole band. It really helps bring his music to life when he has other elements added. The flute player made the biggest difference, adding fun little trills. The bassist was very enthusiastic, and would also make some funny looking faces. If you go to the concert you'll know what I mean. Aslani played all of his famous songs and did not disappoint. One thing I did not like was the sound of the band was sometimes overpowering the guitar playing by Aslani, wish they would fix that. Overall, it was a fun night and I recommend it if you like at least 5 of his songs.
