Tombak Duet by Fakhroddin Ghaffari and Kirill Osherov 

The tombak is a goblet drum associated with the music of Iran. It is considered the principal percussion instrument of Persian music.

Like the table in India it was not considered a virtuoso solo instrument until the pioneering work of several Persian musicians from the mid 1950’s.

Goblet-shaped drums are also played in different regions of Asia, Eastern Europe and Africa, but the techniques differ and the earthly sound of Tombak will make you travel to ancient Persia.

This evenings performance consists of original compositions for Tombak ensemble by Fakhroddin Ghaffari with Kirill Osherov.
