Music from Iran encompasses a rich tradition spanning classical Persian music with its intricate modal systems and microtonal scales, to contemporary rock, electronic, and experimental sounds. The tag captures both traditional instruments like the tar and santur alongside modern production, reflecting Iran's complex cultural heritage and diaspora experience. Whether meditative and ornamental or rebelliously modern, this music carries distinctive Middle Eastern melodic sensibilities and poetic depth.
