Led by Iranian instrumentalist and composer Hossein Alizadeh, the Hamavayan Ensemble performs new interpretations of classical Persian music.[1] The ensemble features male and female vocalists, tar and setar (ancient plucked lutes from Persia), and percussion.

Maestro Alizadeh's most recent recording, Endless Vision, featuring the Hamavayan Ensemble with the Armenian duduk player Djivan Gasparyan, was nominated for a Grammy.

Members
gollark: Ah yes, there was a "rainbow book" series.
gollark: CDs are standardized in what's called the "Red Book" for some reason. I assume they shipped them in a red book or something.
gollark: CDs, of course, store uncompressed PCM audio at 44.1kHz/16 bit sample resolution.
