A brilliant kaleidoscope of textures. In Western music, percussion generally supports a singer or other musical instruments, rarely playing a starring role in its own right. "Dawar", the latest recording from Trio Chemirani, turns this notion on its head. Richard Marcus listened to the album and was astounded by the diversity of sound and feelings that three musicians are able to create using just a few instruments. The French label, Harmonia Mundi, organized the release of Dawâr from the percussion masters Djamchid Chemirani (b. 1942, Iran), Bijan Chemirani, and Keyvan Chemirani (b. 1968, France). The father-and-sons trio was established in 1988, and their discography stretches back into the ‘90s. The most prominent instrument on this recording is the classical Persian drum, the zarb, a wooden, goblet-shaped, single-headed drum about 18 inches tall with typically a goat or camel skin used to create the playing surface. The patriarch of the trio, Djamchid, as a young man would make the trip by bus to study with Hossein Teherani, a great zarb master. Since there was no standardized notation, Djamchid would observe and mimic the great master’s technique without transcription or written records and spend the return bus ride deep in thought, memorizing the lessons of the great master. Through devotion and practice, Djamchid himself became a zarb master and taught his sons, Keyvan and Bijan, the way of the zarb. tracklist: 01. Dawâr (2:56) 02. Attar (6:14) 03.
