ensemble

Tanbour Solo by Sohrab Pournazeri in concert for the year of Rumi.
The Shams Ensemble is a musical group that performs traditional Kurdish, Sufi and classical Iranian music with the tanbour (a stringed instrument), daf (frame drum), and percussion instruments. It was founded by composer Kaykhosro Pournazeri.

Gooroohe Shams:

They also performed in Tehran, Iran (Zafaranieh area) in Summer 2008 which was absolutely amazing. Front row tickets were sold for ~ 40,000 tomans equivalent to $50 US dollars. Unfortunately they did not let the Whirling Sufi Dancers (shown in the last video clip) dance during the performance in Tehran.

Simple instruments, amazing sound, excellent performance. Please enjoy >>
