Feyzollah Nazari Gurajubi

Feyzollah Nazari Gurajubi, born in 1336 SH (1957/58), son of the late Darvish Moradkhan Nazari Gurajubi, is one of the prominent and learned figures of the region. From childhood he studied with his esteemed father, gaining knowledge and learning the authentic Pardiwari maqams (traditional melodic pieces or modes of the tanbur) and melodies.

In playing the 72 authentic Pardiwari maqams he is one of the main sources, and in singing the maqams he is one of the prominent and distinctive singers of the authentic style. Through repeated re-singing and review he performs the authentic maqams precisely and without any omission – something that has even been approved by the Agha, the pir and leader of the Yarsan.

Nazari is also counted among the outstanding minds in the interpretation and analysis of religious questions. He currently lives in Saveh county.
