Santur music, rooted in Persian classical traditions, showcases the ethereal sound of the santur, a hammered dulcimer with origins in ancient Persia. This genre is characterized by its intricate melodic patterns and rich, resonant tones produced by striking the instrument's strings with delicate mallets. Masters like Pashang Kamkar and Parviz Meshkatian have pushed the boundaries of santur music, blending classical elements with contemporary influences. The genre often features complex rhythmic structures and improvisational segments, creating a mesmerizing auditory tapestry that is deeply emotive and spiritually evocative.
