A fascinating fact about Persian music is that its modal system, known as Dastgah, is unique and deeply expressive. Unlike Western music, which primarily relies on harmony, Persian music focuses on melodic development and emotional depth.

One particularly interesting aspect is that many radifs (the traditional repertoire of Persian music) have been passed down orally for centuries, meaning that each master interprets and teaches them slightly differently. This has allowed Persian music to remain fluid, dynamic, and deeply personal, making every performance unique!
