Homay & Mastan: The Soldiers: Live In Concert 2010 North America Tour 2-Disc Set SIGNED BACK OF SLEEVE
The Mastān Ensemble is an acclaimed Iranian musical group renowned for performing traditional Persian music. Their performances are deeply rooted in the rich cultural heritage of Iran, blending classical Persian melodies with powerful vocal and instrumental arrangements.
About the Ensemble:
The group specializes in expertly interpreting classical Persian poetry and music, often incorporating instruments such as the setar, tar, kamancheh, and daf. Each member of the ensemble is highly skilled in traditional Persian musical techniques, contributing to a cohesive and emotionally stirring sound.
Live In Concert 2010 North America Tour:
This 2-disc set captures Homay and the Mastan Ensemble's electrifying live performances across major cities in North America during their 2010 tour. The recordings highlight the nuanced interplay between Homay’s powerful vocals and the ensemble's intricate musical accompaniment.
Importance of the 2-Disc Set:
Disc One features a collection of classic and contemporary Persian songs, demonstrating the ensemble’s versatility and Homay’s strong expressive voice.
Disc Two contains live renditions of extended improvisational pieces, showcasing the ensemble’s mastery of traditional rhythms and melodic structures.
Signed Back of Sleeve:
This particular edition is special as it includes a signature on the back of the sleeve, making it a valuable collector’s item for fans and enthusiasts of Persian music and world music collectors alike.
Traditional Persian Music & Its Elements:
Traditional Persian music, also known as Radif, involves a complex system of modal scales and improvisation. The Mastan Ensemble excels in this by drawing from centuries-old musical traditions and poetry, often singing verses by great Persian poets such as Ferdowsi, Hafez, and Rumi. Their music often incorporates spiritual and mystical themes, which are deeply intertwined with the Sufi musical tradition.
The ensemble’s performances are not only concerts but immersive cultural experiences. Listeners are taken on a journey through the historical and emotional landscapes of Iran, enriched by the sensitive interpretations of poetic lyrics and haunting melodies.
Instruments Commonly Featured by the Mastan Ensemble:
Setar: A delicate plucked string instrument essential to Persian music.
Tar: A long-necked lute that creates rich and resonant tones.
Kamancheh: A bowed string instrument similar to a spike fiddle, known for its expressive sound.
Daf: A type of frame drum used to provide rhythmic foundation.
Ney: An end-blown flute contributing haunting and breathy melodies.
Legacy and Influence:
Homay & Mastan’s live performances have significantly contributed to the global appreciation of Persian traditional music. Their North American tour in 2010 served as a bridge to introduce Persian art and culture to new audiences, fostering cross-cultural understanding and appreciation.
Collectors and enthusiasts treasure this 2-disc set not only for the exquisite live recordings but also for its cultural significance as a testament to one of the most important Persian musical groups of the modern era.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
