Salar Aghili belongs to those singers capable of moving through some kind of miracle. To his vocal strength and his unfailing technique learned from uncontested masters, he adds a little madness and a communicative sensitivity that hits the target. While he keeps alive the tradition of mystic poets such as Afez, Rumi or Saadi, he is also passionate about his contemporaries that he sings without fuss, with an equal emotional fervor and that he garnishes with the most subtle melodic flights. His voice plunges us at the heart of the silkiest Persian flavors.
