New album
Nader is very excited to release his first music album in early April 2023. This album consists of 8-10 tracks of which he has been working on for the past 10 years and most of them have been assigned as the music tracks on documentaries. Amongst all the tracks, songs like “Resurrection”, “Legend of the Phoenix”, “Jolfa” and “Isfahan” are Nader’s favorites.
In this album, you can find originality that stems from his ability to successfully fuse Flamenco, which is, historically, enjoying an age of renascence and using the most complex guitar tunes, delicately with the appeasing and ancient sounds of folk Persian instruments, which may contain Tonbak as the most sophisticated percussion in the world.
He is working on his second album now. He will be away in Latin America soon where he can fuse his music with the best local artists. He wishes to perform and present his songs in Canada and around the world with the message of “We are all one”, specially at this challenging time. He is planning to release his second album sometime at the end of summer 2023.

Jolfa
At the height of Safaviey dynisty, a group of Armenians were invited by king Abbas to the capital اصفهان Isfahan, to assist in building the city. The Armenians formed a beautiful neighborhood and formed a peaceful and constructive coexistence with the host population. Jolfa square and the churches with a remarkable Armenian population have been remaining there since then. I got inspired by this beautiful neighbourhood when I was traveling to Esfahan and wrote this piece.
