TAMBURI MUNDI: Mohammad Reza Mortazavi

Mohammad Reza Mortazavi is one of the most extraordinary solo percussionists of our time. The Iranian-born artist has redefined playing on the traditional Persian hand drums tombak and daf and developed them into a unique, contemporary sound language. With breathtaking virtuosity, maximum precision and an unmistakable technique, he creates complex rhythmic structures that are at once hypnotic, physical and deeply emotional.
