AFGHAH, Navid:

   Born in Shiraz, 1970 started playing the Tonbak in 1983 under the supervision of Mahmoud Farahm and Bafi at the Center of Traditional Music Heritage. The presence of his elder brother (Massih Afghah, Santur Player), helped him to find his way. Navid, who also plays the Tar and the Setar, passed several courses in orchestration, counterpoint and harmony under the guidance of Kambiz Rowshan Ravan. In 2000, he released his first solo album, which has been re-published in France in 2001 (CDA Records). He has so far performed in various solo concerts in Iran as well as abroad, and collaborated with many ensembles like the Soroush Ensemble, Faramarz Payvar Ensemble, Dalaho, Ayeneh and Massiha.
