My favorite music
I love Persian musics
The music of Iran encompasses music produced by Iranian artists. In addition to the traditional folk and classical genres,
it also includes pop and internationally celebrated styles such as jazz, rock, and hip hop. Iranian music influenced other
cultures in West Asia, building up much of the musical terminology of the neighboring Turkic and Arabic cultures, and reached
India through the 16th-century Persianate Mughal Empire, whose court promoted new musical forms by bringing Iranian musicians.
History
Music in Iran, as evidenced by the "pre-Iranian" archaeological records of Elam, the oldest civilization in southwestern Iran,
dates back thousands of years. Iran is the birthplace of the earliest complex instruments, which date back to the third millennium BC.
[2] A number of trumpets made of silver, gold, and copper were found in eastern Iran that are attributed to the Oxus civilization and
date back between 2200 and 1750 BC. The use of both vertical and horizontal angular harps have been documented at the archaeological
sites of Madaktu (650 BC) and Kul-e Fara (900–600 BC), with the largest collection of Elamite instruments documented at Kul-e Fara.
Multiple depictions of horizontal harps were also sculpted in Assyrian palaces, dating back between 865 and 650 BC.
