    "comment": "Amir Amiri leads the Amir Amiri Ensemble, a Montreal‑based collective that blends Persian, Turkish, Kurdish, Arabic and Western classical traditions into deeply expressive, culturally rooted music. On the album Ancestors – Echoes of Persia, the track “Sama Dance” (Raghseh Sama) unfolds as a rhythmic, spiritual piece inspired by traditional sama dance forms, anchored by Amiri’s masterful santur playing and supported by viola, ghaychak, oud and percussion. The project is both a celebration of musical heritage and a contemporary interpretation of interconnected Middle Eastern sound worlds, offering listeners a journey through ancestral echoes and living tradition.",
