Iraj Bastami was one of the best and most well know Iranian traditional singer, who was trained by the late
great Ostad Mohammadreza Shajarian, the Master of
Iranian traditional singing. Iraj Bastami was sadly killed
in the devastating Bam earthquake in 2003. In this album
he is accompanied by Hoseine Parnia, a well known and experienced Santoor player, songwriter and arranger and
Ensemble leader, as well as Homayoun Ensemble, that has
many experienced Iranian musicians, playing various Iranian instruments. This album includes many beautiful
and enjoyable songs. The album title track "Khaneh booye gol gereft, is one of the best songs of this album. Bastami
had a very good voice, with wide tonal range. He has gone, but his music lives on. Highly recommended album.
