Persian Daf Drum – Habibi Solar 1 Stamp

The Persian Daf is a traditional and iconic frame drum, deeply rooted in the history of Iranian music. Known for its spiritual and vibrant sound, the Daf is a key instrument in Sufi rituals, classical Persian performances, and regional folk music. Originating from ancient Persia, it has remained a symbol of cultural heritage, often associated with rhythm and connection to the divine.
