Description

Farhang Foundation proudly presents Jaana Ensemble's
BAADE SABA - باد صبا
A Musical Tribute to the Folk Music of Iran.

"Folk music, also referred to as native music, embodies the rich tapestry of traditional musical expressions deeply rooted in the cultural heritage of a nation or region.
Passed down through generations, this musical legacy of Iran is particularly intertwined with the distinctive cultural identities of the Kurdish, Gilaki, Azeri, Southern Iranian, and Bakhtiari communities. The resounding melodies, echoing through the corridors of history, have transcended temporal boundaries to captivate contemporary audiences amidst the age of technology.
As an alumna of the Conservatory and University of Music, I, Mahsa Golmakani, harbored a lifelong aspiration to curate a treasury of Iran's enchanting folkloric songs. This vision materialized in the Baade Saba project, a labor of love aimed at acquainting subsequent generations, especially those born outside Iran, with the beauty of these cultural gems. The intention is to instill a sense of pride in their heritage, fostering an appreciation for the nation's profound cultural and artistic richness.

It is my sincere hope that this collection, meticulously crafted with dedication and passion, brings joy and appreciation to all who engage with it. May the resonance of these melodies kindle a connection to Iran's cultural legacy, fostering a shared sense of warmth and pride."
