about

'Paresh-e Jal' is the debut track from Badieh, a Spanish-Iranian musical collaboration exploring the music of Greater Khorāsān.

Badieh (which in Arabic and Farsi means 'steppe'), is a musical collaboration between Spain's Michel Gasco and Iran's Mohammad Miraghazadeh, born of a love for the music of Greater Khorāsān - an area which stretches across present day Iran, Afghanistan and Central Asia.

Their debut track 'Paresh-e Jal' is a traditional piece from the Afghan city of Herat, with a distinctly Khorāsāni flavour.

When Michel and Mohammad met, they began teaching each other what they know of Khorāsāni music - Mohammad leading the western side (Iran) and Michel the eastern (Afghanistan).

"It was like trying to speak together with different accents," Michel explains. "Because my oriental musical background is in Levantine Arabic music and Afghan music - specially the traditional music from Herat - and his background is in Persian Classical music."

Spain's Michel Gasco plays Oud in the Levantine Arabic tradition, having spent several years studying in the area around Homs and Aleppo before the war in Syria. He has also studied Afghan rubab under Ustad Nassim Khushnawaz, the son of Ustad Rahim Khushnawaz of Herat.

He is joined in Badieh by Mohammad Miraghazadeh, a Persian classical tar and setar player from the Iranian city of Mashhad who has studied under Ustad Jalal Zolfonoun, Behdad Babai, and the great Ustad Mohammad Reza Lotfi.
