The Lords of the Secrets Concert Movie
The film of vocalist Homayun Shajarian’s concert “The Lords of the Secrets” directed by celebrated filmmaker Rakhshan Bani-Etemad was unveiled during a ceremony in Tehran.
Speaking at the ceremony, Shajarian expressed his hope that the younger generation in Iran can form a strong bond with Iranian traditional music.
“We are living a life full of changes and it is difficult for the younger generation to connect with Iranian traditional music”, he said.
Purnazeri also said that they have performed a repertoire of the album’s songs in over 50 concerts in Iran and other countries.
The film focuses on Shajarian’s tour of Iran during 2012 and he performed songs from his acclaimed album “The Lords of the Secrets” that was released in November 2015.
“The Lords of the Secrets”, a collaboration between composer Sohrab Pournazeri and vocalist Homayoun Shajarian, is a work of traditional Iranian music recorded in Iran, Turkey, and the United States. It includes lyrics from masters of Iranian poetry such as Khayyam, Rumi, and Hafez. The final track of this album is based on a composition of Kaykhosro Pournazeri, originally sung by Shahram Nazeri.
