Kalhor is one of the world’s leading players of the kamancheh, a traditional Persian bowed string instrument, and his music bridges Persian classical traditions with a global sound palette. Born in Tehran and trained from childhood in Iran’s rich regional music, he has co‑founded influential ensembles, collaborated with masters across cultures, and helped bring Iranian music into major international concert halls, making him a central voice in the Silk Road Project’s mission to celebrate musical exchange across cultures.", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
