Stunning underground beauty from Iran. Mahdieh Mohammadkhani is the vocalist, and Majid Derakhshani is the guy on the stringed instrument, and the musical director who is famed for his innovations within traditional Persian music. But the real star for me is the guy on the reed-flute (I think it is Shahoo Andalibi). Just check out the change in sound when he opens his mouth - incredible stuff and it first happens at 0:58
Mahdieh also appears to be an Architect! I think this may be their latest album although, as you no doubt have noticed, I'm flying blind on this post...
Here's the bigger Ensemble with a more raucous song - it's wonderful.
