Radif of Iranian Music

We are not the first group to start at the beginning again. The last too.


Orientalists and ethnic musicologists not only did not respect mathematical rules and respect for human reason, but also denied differences and colorfulness in false reports.


We are not the first group to start at the beginning again. The last too.


Fundamentalist musicians of Iranian instruments chose only one mode of the human heritage of the fathers and suppressed everything that was against it.


We are not the first group to start at the beginning again. The last too.


Where is the truth in this big number? No nowhere. As long as there are composers anywhere in the world who create their own "RADIF" in the future, the "RADIF" of music is authentic in the post-Orientalism situation.


Authenticity in the post-Orientalism situation is not related to identity, country, or gender.


The most original human originality is the "nowness" of beings.


We are not the first group to start at the beginning again. The last too.
