Of Iranian singers, I like Shakila a lot since the lyrics are quite meaningful. What's more she's really a MUSICIAN, rather than a model, like modern day Iranian girl singers.
Of her works, there comes a song, I don't know the name, but she says:
'Bar Elaha Madadi Kon, Ze To Ghafel Nashavam'. You know the song, Zagors? By the way, I've heard she's a doctor. Is that right?

I haven't... but there were wild lions in Shiraz/Pars province up until the 40s. Do you know who it is by and when it dates from?

Patriotic Persian song called Vatan, by Alireza Assar.
Nice music & the images during the first 60 seconds precious.
After 60 secs images become a bit political (I think) but the music & singing are what some of you might find interesting.

That's amazing, I thought only iranian singers did that with their voice. What he does is not exactly the same..
But the roots in such singing are from the chanting of Zardoshti Magi in prayer.

Here is a link to possibly the greatest Flamenco singer. May seem off-topic but I find the voice-tone and the style of singing reminds me of Persian singers. Compare it with the Shajarian clips that Hellios posted in the beginning of the thread. Click this EL CAMARON

The 12 main Persian music instruments:
01. Barbat: a very important instrument in the course of the history of Persian music. The ud seems to be of Iranian origin and is the barbat of the pre-Islamic era. It was taken by the Arabs and with its Arabic name, ud, was introduced into Europe to become the famous Lute, so popular during the renaissance. Is a short necked with pear-shaped body and is played with plectrum. It normally has five courses of two strings tuned mainly in fourths, without frets.
02. Daf: a frame drum with a row of small circular metal hoops fastened to the inside of its rim, the hoops will rattle when the membrane of the drum is struck.
03. Gheichak: a bowed spike fiddle. The instrument has four metal strings and a range of about two and half octaves. Shaped like the Indian sarinda.

04. Narmeh-Nay: mostly used in the west or south-west part of Caspian Sea. Turks, Azeris, Armenians, Kurds, were in love with the Narmeh-Nay. The Kurds called it narmeh-nay, the Turks named it mey, it is also referred to as balaban in Azerbaijan, and doodook in Armenia. There is an instrument much similar to Narmeh-nay yet much shorter in size exists in China called guan. Narmeh-nay has limited capacity and is used to play native melodies, which range into one octave and several notes, and never reaches a second octave.
(image missing)
05. Nay: dates back to the age of the pyramids. Ney is a vertical reed pipe with six finger holes in front and one in the back. It is made of a seven-segment section of reed. Ney is common throughout the Near east, although the Iranian technique is probably the most versatile, using both the low breathy register and the sharp higher register (held between the teeth). Ney has a range of about two and half octaves.
06. Santur: a trapezoid shape dulcimer with eighteen courses of four strings and bridges to provide three octaves, from which the Hungarian cimbalom and the Chinese yang-chin are thought to be derived. It is played by two delicate wooden hammers.
07. Setar: a long necked lute type instrument related to the ancient tanbur. It has four strings and a small half-pear shaped sound box. It is played with the strumming action of the right index finger nail. The Setar has moveable frets and a range of two octaves and a 5th.
08. Sorna: of the wind family, with a reed for generating the voice and a tubular body with finger-holes like in a flute. The body is of a progressively opening type. It is the same instrument more or less as sunay in china, shenay in India, zorna in Greece, zurla in Yugoslavia, bombarde in France, zokra in Tunis, ghaytah or raita in Morocco mizmar in Egypt, and zamr in Lebanon and Iraq.
09. Tanbur: an ancient, three stringed lute that was already present in the 3rd century at the court of the Sasanids in Iran. Eventually, the tanbur was destined to be used by the Ahl-e Haqq as a sacred instrument. Its pear-shaped body is normally carved out of one piece of mulberry wood. It has fourteen frets.
10. Tar: a plucked stringed instrument with a double-bellied body. Made of mulberry wood carved in two sections. Tar has six strings, but four of the strings are tuned in pairs. It has eighteen frets per octave unequally spaced to make possible performance of all modes and is played with a small metallic plectrum.
11. Tonbak: the chief percussion instrument, it is carved of single block of wood. Its body is hollow, open at the lower end and covered with goat skin in the wide upper end. It is held horizontally and played with both hands. The elaborated finger technique consists of various rolling and snapping styles, which allow for great variety of sounds.
12. Kamanche: a bowed instrument, which has a round and deep sound box. The body consists of a wooden hemisphere covered with thin sheepskin membrane. It has four strings and a range of about three octaves. The Kamanche is held in a vertical position, when played.

I am a big fan of Shajarian, Persian music is very technical, and to enjoy that a musical knowledge is necessary.
