A compilation of some of Ostad Elahi's most beautiful improvisations on the tanbour. The solemnity and majesty of the Tarz-e Yari and Saru Khani suites, both played in the same mode, are followed by the dance rhythms of Tan Amiri and Pa Kotaki, evoking joy and ecstasy. As evidenced on this CD, one of the characteristics of Ostad Elahi's art was that he would pay tribute to the great figures of the Kurdish and Persian mystical traditions through musical modes specifically dedicated to them.
