Nearly 40 years ago, Djamchid Chemirani made his first recording for Harmonia Mundi. Since then, his career has blossomed, and he performs now with his sons Keyvan and Bijan at his side. Both separately and together, each has explored various universes of sound and honed their craft as musicians. But Trio Chemirani has constantly returned to the shared magnum opus: the elaboration of a universal rhythmic language. Dawar fuses the spirituality, diverse cultural experiences and historical sensitivity of these three great artists.

A brilliant kaleidoscope of textures
In Western music, percussion generally supports a singer or other musical instruments, rarely playing a starring role in its own right. “Dawar”, the latest recording from Trio Chemirani, turns this notion on its head.

Percussion instruments aren’t normally something you’d think of as playing a leading role in a song. Usually percussion players are the ones buried at the back of the stage tapping out a rhythm most of us don’t pay any attention to while the lead musicians play the melody. However, the further away you travel from pop or European orchestral music, the more the relationship between beat and tune changes. While it’s true that rap and hip-hop both rely heavily on rhythm to drive their songs, in those instances, the pulse is driving the lyrics and is not the primary means of communication.

However, music in which the percussion is the primary focus, creating both the melody and the rhythm, is something not often heard anywhere. On the latest recording from Trio Chemirani, “Dawar” (The Universal Rhythm), on the Harmonia Mundi label, we are introduced to a world of almost pure rhythm.

Rooted in classical Persian music, the trio expands upon this base to include sounds and feelings of traditions from around the world and to create something that resonates not only in the body but the spirit.
The trio is made up of father Djamchid Chemirani and his two sons Keyvan and Bijan. While the elder Chemirani is a trained classical Persian musician, he has not limited himself to that genre alone. In 1985 he worked with famed British director Peter Brook on his production of the Mahabharata, the epic Indian tale of the lives of the gods. Influenced by both their father’s music and his willingness to explore other forms of expression, both sons spent time learning about other musical traditions. However it wasn’t just music they were interested in. They also studied language and how the speech patterns shared by different cultures shaped music when different musicians worked together.
