Not even kidding. I was in Barcelona I think in 2017. And I think I met him then. We met this Persian man playing santoor in a park in Barcelona and we spoke to him in Farsi. Mabye it was him. I mean how many Persian Santoor street artists can there be in Barcelona?
Omid Tahmasebpur! From the city of Amoll in the province of Mazantaurant in North Iran. His father is one of the best singers in Amoll and his mother plays setar. He started to play santur at the age of eight.
it is very typical to tune santoor its not easy....this talented man has an ability to tune it..hats off to his talent may how perfectly he is playing santoor its not easy to play...👏👏👏😊😊😊👌🖒😊
Persian santour is very difficult! But so beautiful. I have one, and am learning. Not an easy instrument, especially coming from a background in playing wind instruments.
Why do people, who have no sense of music / melody intellect have to talk rubbish just to pump their ego? The Santur originated in the Royal Courts of the Persian Empire and then moved down to the Ottomans who took it with them to some parts of Europe and during the same time when Persians came as invaders, traders and artisans to Asia (India etc.,) they got the instrument with them and has thus remained a part of India's culture ever since. Please stop spreading false information!!
And what happened to the santoor culture of the lands from where it has been originated as u said nYxkYx. U googled some data sheet which is purely meaningless. Can u name some of famous santoor players of any part of the world other than India. It is the Indian musicians who have made much change to the original Persian version. That is the case with other Persian instruments like Sarod or Sarangi, Sitar too. The Indian versions are much ahead of the original prototypes. All credits goes to the Indian culture patronizing music and the Muslim rulers, religion, culture has almost spoiled the music culture from the Arabian and Middle East which had been there for the last thousand years. Frusted Orthodox Muslims should have realized that music has no religion and cherished it, instead they declared it haram as said in Koran which is utterly nonsense.

Τον Omid Tahmasebpour τον ακούω εδώ και 6 περίπου χρόνια στις καμάρες της οδού Αριστοτέλους στη Θεσσαλονίκη. Είναι ίσως, ένας από τους καλύτερους σαντουρίστες στον κόσμο! Απλά ακούστε τον.......
He must have been played with Kamkars at some points. Feel the same touch. And they are great like him. Bravo brother, you are outstanding, high caliber musician.
How sad to see such an amazing artist performing his beauty of art on the street while useless minds are sitting on top of the roof and enjoy...bless you sir🙏
although the santoor is played in both countries this one is Iranian version(indian one is more rectangular in shape) and also the music is played in iranian ragas...
Please, could you give us again the link? Because in your comment above it is not complete. I'd really like to find out the name of this santur player.
Well in this case we can’t say incredible he is just a simple student and plays santor....well done......but if U want see incredible santor player I think U should search for ( parvez mshkatian/santor ) then U see incredible santor player ...........
Hello dear musician friend, what's the tuning range of this santur? it's not hicaz indeed. can you send me a message about this, thank you and you play like a legendary classical musician : )
santoor is an musical instrument originated in iran whats wrong with this fact ?? the stupid nationalism makes people blind, culture has no border, it spreads throughout the world, no one can make a boundary and separates culture, we are all from one culture, one civilization, we all share similarities and dissimilarities no one can separate these two .
Darkhorse Again youre separating iran and India culturally , iran,India,Pakistan,afghanestan and many more countries in that region are from the same culture , now your looking for center of this culture??well according to wikipedia Ancient Mesopotamian civilization was the earliest in world history included the Sumerian cities, ancient Babylon, and the Assyrian empire, middle east is known as Cradle of civilization, India is extremely influenced by Persian culture even The name India is derived from Indus, which originates from the Old Persian word Hindu , Hindustan is a Persian name for India dating back to the 3rd century BCE , that’s exactly from wikipedia , your saying santur is originated from India , did you know the world santur is a Persian name ? just Google it , half of Hindi is Persian word , even Indian foods like biryani , do piazza , dose and many other foods are originated from Persia , middle east is the center of culture it’s the land of religions , Islam , Christianity , Judaism three biggest religion are originated from middle east , Hinduism is extremely under influence of Mithraism which is an old ancient Persian religion , Shiva , Vishnu and Brahma are three main Indian gods which is known as Hindu trinity , does it sound like Christian trinity ?? Brahma representing holly spirit , Shiva character is close to Michael the angel which Muslims and Christians believe in , when we read about Hinduism , islam and Christianity we see many similarities between them and the ancient Iranian religion "Mithraism" the world culture is extremely under influence of Iranian culture , Christmas is the day Jesus born , no one knows when jusus born that’s why the chose the day yalda which is celebrated by Iranian as the longest day from the ancient time , valentine , ester day and many other celebrations and festival are originated fro ancient Iranian because Mithraism spread throughout Europe and for long times it was the main religion of Romans , India is dominated from Persia (iran) from many aspects, the language , clothing , foods , culture and many more … im requesting you to just tread about , use the google and read about Mithraism and other religion and the world civilization , im wondering how can you say India is more culturally advanced than iran!!!
