Shanbehzadeh-spiritually uplifting!
by Gentlemenjack on 9/26/16Apollo Theater - New YorkThis guy exudes passion, enthusiasm and human grace; Music runs through his veins and you can see that influence bud from his family (son and wife) who also play with him. Being Persian-American, I grew up listening to classic rock, hip hop, rap, reggae, alternative music but was never fond of Persian music. This night changed that because I gained a cultural understanding for the roots and essence of how the music came about. He plays a bag pipe instrument that I had no clue is a core instrument in almost all Persian music today except today it is mostly digitized/synthesized using devices. The passion with which he plays and dances simultaneously is thrilling. Caring souls cater to great music. Genuinely different experience.
