Hossein Alizadeh’s Speech at the Closing of the 1st Kohan Avaha-ye Tanbur Festival (2017)

According to the newspaper Shargh (14 September 2017), Alizadeh began by thanking Ali Akbar Moradi, saying that Moradi’s name needs no title. He also criticised labels such as “chevalier” for Shahram Nazeri and “world kamancheh player” for Kayhan Kalhor, saying both should simply be called Iranian artists.
