Homayoun_Shajarian

One of Iran’s most popular young vocalists, Homayoun Sharajian, showcases his blend of traditional and modern Persian music as he performs music from acclaimed albums Nasim-e Vasl and Ba Setareh ha.

Iran’s musicians often have their skills handed down to them from their parents or grandparents, but that doesn’t mean the new generations aren’t re-shaping the mould and exploring new sounds. Homayoun Shajarian, son of the legendary Persian singer Mohammad-Reza Shajarian, has introduced elements of western music into his classical repertoire to create a style that has proved alluring to mainstream and alternative audiences alike.
