Here are a few songs that are hailing from Iran, one of the oldest and most culturally rich parts of the world. Inside its borders live a number of ethnically distinct peoples, each with their own style of music. I have tried to put a list together summing this up. We have Persian classical music (Hamavayan Ensemble), Kurdish music, folk music from Khorasan and Gilan, and even a singing women ensemble lead by Maryam Akhondy with a hauntingly beautiful lamentation.
