Darvish Jahangir Darvishi

Darvish Jahangir Darvishi was born in 1922 and was the brother of Darvish Ali Mir. He learned the tanbur in the tanbur school of Agha Seyed Shamseddin and over the years rose to the rank of master.

Darvish Jahangir had a fine voice and played the tanbur in a deeply authentic style. He worked hard to teach the maqams of the tanbur (the traditional melodic pieces of its repertoire) and to pass them on to later generations.

Darvish Jahangir died in 2011.
