Tombak is an Iranian percussion. Originally it acted as accompaniment to singing and dancing, though at some unclear point it entered the classical repertoire. By mid-20th century, solo and ensemble performances of tombak had became an established genre.
This piece would be called a 5-bit by most people, and 5/4 by others (3+2/4 by the more enthusiastic crowd). The performance is improvisatory, but there are some processes non-the-less. The video was cut due to memory failure, though the sound exists.
Performer: Bardia Hafizi
