Can anyone recognize this piece at the end? Sadly Ostad Sigarchi did not have a vocal mic and we can hardly hear the words. Beautiful tune in Dastgah Nava, unfortunately the video cuts off before the end...

Hi Chris,

He is performing a cover of this song:

"Man che danam" by Shahram nazeri. It translates to "What do I know" from a poem by Rumi.

Amazing! Thank you so much! I love that this community exists! I got to see Parham perform in Brooklyn on my birthday this summer, it was amazing

You are welcome!

I am glad to see young Iranians getting into Berklee and shining like this. A few weeks back another young Iranian musician - Bahar Badieitabar - was spotlighted by Berklee:

Yes! She was the oud player in the ensemble I saw in Parhams concert this summer, put together by Brooklyn Maqam folks :)
