Pejman Tadayon, musician, composer and painter of Persian origin, presents his latest project, "We are not Sufi", in which we find the transposition into music of the poems of four great Persian mystics (Rumi, Omar Khayyam, Hafez and Saadì), with original music performed with the instruments of the Persian tradition. Accompanying him on stage, a Sufi music and dance ensemble to communicate a message of universal peace, a bridge between all cultures and religions.
In fact, in addition to Tadayon himself (singing, oud, saz and ney), the ensemble is composed of Martina Pelosi (canto, sansula), Luigi Polsini (viella), Renato Vecchio (duduk, flute), Simone Pulvano (dumbek, darabuka, riq and daf), Massimiliano Barbaliscia (santur), Jolina Iavicoli and Silvia Layla (dance), Isabella Grimaldi (narrator) and the Persepolis Choir.
Pejman Tadayon, born in Esfahan in Iran in 1977, from an early age began studying the ancient Persian musical repertoire - radif - and traditional instruments - târ and setâr - under the guidance of masters Kamran Keyvan, Mohammed Reza Lotfi and Behrooz Hemmati. In 2003 he arrived in Italy to attend the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence and to study Western music at the Fiesole School of Music. In 2005 he moved to Rome, where he collaborated with the traditional Persian music group Sarawan - Drums of Iran. In 2013 he founded the Pejman Tadayon Ensemble, for which he composes music inspired by Rumi's poems and Sufism; in that same year he released the Universal Sufi Music album. During his career he has collaborated with several musicians and is currently considered one of the most important Persian and Sufi music experts in Italy.
