Traditional Music Photo

Photographer’s Note

These guys were sitting and blocking the road while playing their nice traditional music, and some other [not shown in this picture] were dancing to the music. I was not aware that they were actually welcoming us to their village. So, we got off the bus, and watching their performace. They offered us some cookies [will upload the picture later]. However, all of the performances were done by men, no women involved in this ceremony. Women only watched from sides of the road.

Very interesting culture and nice people. This picture was captured at a small village at South Khorasan Province, about two hour drive from Birjand, capital of the province.

Benyamin,
Very thanks for this nice shot and useful note. it is an excellent capture. persian traditional music's origin is from Khorasan, and from Birhand specially.
.
i like this locale music and songs very much. "Sima Bina" a famous iranian female singer is from Birjand.

Hi,

As you have said these people are here to welcome you, on thier shirts they have written "Khosh Amadid" which means "well come" or welcome in Persian.
I hope u have a happy trip to my country and please accept our warmest " Khosh Amadid".

Merci
Maryam
