Shahriyar Jamshidi ( Kurdish: Şehriyar Cemşîdî, Persian: شهریار جمشیدی, Sorani Kurdish: شەهریار جەمشیدی) (born 1971) is a Kurdish-Canadian Kamancheh player and composer. [1] [2] His focus is mainly on Kurdish music.
Shahriyar was born in a Kurdish family in Kermanshah, the Kurdish city in the west of Iran. Due to limitations following the Iranian Revolution in 1978, he was not able to study music until age 17. He received private music lessons under the supervision of Mahmoud Merati for two years before studying music at Tehran University of Art. In Tehran, he continued his music studies under various teachers including Ahmad Pejman, Houshang Kamkar, Ardeshir Kamkar and Taghi Binesh. He also worked under the directorship of the well known Kurdish Kamancheh player Mojtaba Mirzadeh.
His most renowned works are:
… Indeed, the similarities between the two are so strong I am almost tempted to speak of a "reunion". Shahriyar continues: "Women, the musical instrument Kamânche and Rojava: all these three aspects together make a triangle to maintain the topic of ROJAVA."
… While listening to the album, I couldn't help but be in awe. To think that this album was recorded live and completely improvised is quite an accomplishment and a testament to both Raphael and Shahriyar's musicianship.
…An artistic tour de force for both its creators, Kamancello's often stunning beauty belies its improvised nature.
… If you are the kind of quite soul that thrives on new sounds that come from within the spirit, you may have just have to discover this unique CD.
