The Tar with Friends
August 31, 2010
We had an amazing meal with our close friends Akbar and Zahra the other evening. Close to the end of the evening, Zahra and Akbar brought out the instruments and proceeded to teach us a little sitar and tar. What a fascinating sound and history. Akbar wants to pick up the guitar (which I play) so we are going shopping next week for a six-string and will be making some Western music to augment the Persian. Should be fun!!
Akbar plays and discusses a piece of traditional music with Tennille's mom.
Ethan on the tar.
Our friends Akbar and Zahra play us a tune.
It has quite a different sound, and the boys found it interesting.
