Meet Ali Akbar Moradi.
Yarsan Tanbur
Ali Akbar Moradi
Kurdish-Iranian master of the tanbur, the sacred long-necked lute of the Yarsan, born in 1957 near Kermanshah. The Yarsan, also called Ahl-e Haqq, are a Kurdish religious tradition of their own going back to the eleventh century, with their own cosmology and scriptures: close to Sufism in spirit, but not the same thing and not a branch of Islam.
