Vocalist Shahram Nazeri is to be awarded France’s Chevalier des Arts et Lettres medal for his lifetime achievements in Iranian traditional musi. Nazeri is scheduled to give improvised performances with tar virtuoso Dariush Talaii and percussionist Navid Khavari during the ceremony. His musical talents were discovered by his father and nurtured by celebrated masters of Persian music including Abdollah Davami, Nur-Ali Borumand, and Mahmud Karimi. Many of Nazeri's biggest fans are from the Kurdish Iranian regions particularly Kermanshah, where he was born. |
