Shahan-e Asemani (Heavenly Kings) – Hamed Saghiri & Shahoo Orchestra

Shahan-e Asemani (“Heavenly Kings”) is an album by the Shahoo Grand Iranian Orchestra, composed and conducted by Hamed Saghiri and performed in the winter of 2009–10 (1388 SH). The Shahoo Iranian Orchestra was founded in 2000 (1379 SH) to offer a different way of performing Iranian music, built on the age and authenticity of the ancient tanbur and drawing on traditional Iranian instruments such as the oud, kamancheh (spike fiddle) and ghaychak.

The album has nine pieces. Most of the poems are by Rumi; the description of the title piece “Shahan-e Asemani” names Shams Tabrizi as its poet, and the poem of “Bigharar” is by Seyed Khalil Alinejad.
