Khazan from Shalhevet by Divahn

An instrumental piece by Parviz (Ostad) Meshkatian (20th century Iran)

Meshkatian was an Iranian santur virtuoso, composer, and researcher of Persian classical music. He was on the faculty at Tehran University and was a founding member of the Chavosh Artistic and Cultural Foundation. His collaboration with Mohammed Reza Shajarian, a master singer of Persian classical music, produced some of the most cherished recordings in the canon of Persian classical music.

Iranian-descended Galeet Dardashti leads the all-female power-house Middle Eastern Jewish ensemble, Divahn. With its fresh and fiery take on Sephardi/Mizrahi music—eclectic Indian, Middle Eastern, and Latin percussion, lush string arrangements and vocals spanning Hebrew, Persian, Arabic, Ladino, and Aramaic, Divahn underscores common ground between diverse Middle Eastern cultures and religions.
