Shahab Azinmehr
Born in Tehran and currently based Belgium, Shahab Azinmehr is a vocalist and virtuoso player of the tar - a long-necked, narrow-waisted lute-type instrument (from Persian: تار, literally “string”), found in many cultures in Iran, Azerbaijan, and further afield. With a background in the restoration of historical monuments, Shahab began his music career as a singer, later learning tar and setar under the guidance of masters including Mohammad Musavi and Dariush Talâ´i. Shahab has performed internationally, including as a member of Orpheus XXI ensemble under the supervision of Jordi Savall.
