Description
“The Evolution of Persian Music” - Part 19 of the Roqe Media series, The Contemporary History of Iran. What was Persian music before the 20th Century? How do we assess the development of sound and musical traditions in Iran during the Safavid and Qajar eras - important influences that may be heard all the way to today? American musician and ethnomusicologist, Dr. Margaret Caton, author of the new book, “A Persian Ode: Musical Life in Safavid and Qajar Iran,” joins Jian Ghomeshi from Los Angeles for a fascinating, entertaining, and non-traditional journey through the sounds and music of Persia in the periods leading to modern Iran, examined within a broader socio-economic, cultural and political context.
