In Fribourg, a scent of the Orient at the Sacred Music Festival

Hossein Rad’s fingers ricochet off the wireereh, this typical Middle Eastern drum. As fine as a silk thread, the rhythm is launched. The oud then the târ, this kind of lute whose sound box resembles a double heart, and the kamanchehfiddle, emblematic of oriental music, successively distil their sounds and recount in dotted lines this great Iranian classical musical tradition.
