The Iranian Kayhan Kalhor plays the kamânche, a rustic spiked fiddle that doubles as a violin. This exceptional musician plays traditional Iranian styles such as ghazal. Kayhan Kalhor is also committed to rediscovering Kurdish music, which is often suppressed. Internationally acclaimed, Kayhan Kalhor records for major labels such as ECM. Scattering Stars Like Dust (1998), In the Mirror of the Sky (2004), and The Wind (2006) are diamonds sown in the artist's path. Kayhan Kalhor collaborates with leading Iranian and international artists, including Yo-Yo Ma and Kronos Quartet. I Will Not Stand Alone (2012) with Ali Bahrami Fard is a staggering explosion of rhythms.
