Ebrahim Tabarzard

The late Ebrahim Tabarzard (in some posts “Tabarzad”) was a tanbur player and maqam singer from the Kalkal Sanjabi tribe and the son of Babaali Tabarzard. He died young in a car accident; the ceremony for the first anniversary of his death was held on Friday, 26 Khordad 1396 SH (16 June 2017), at the Ahl-e Haqq jamkhaneh (the Yarsan ritual gathering house) in Qasr-e Shirin.

Between December 2016 and March 2020 the “Navaye Tanbur” channel published several of his performances: the maqams (traditional melodic pieces of the tanbur) Khamushi and Barieh, the ancient maqam Geleh-o Dareh, Barieh, the maqam Yari and Tarz-e Yari (video). Some of these recordings were sent to the channel by his son Meysam Tabarzard, whose own performances of the maqams Barieh and Yari also appear in the channel.
