Hailing from the southern Iranian city of Bushehr, the Siriya Ensemble celebrates the rich Afro-Persian musical traditions of the region.
Formed in 2016, these local musicians draw upon the unique blend of Persian and African influences found in the music of the Persian Gulf coast. A pivotal shift occurred in 2017 with the arrival of new members like Mohammad Laryan, Behrouz Sharifian, and Mehdi Monfared, propelling the group towards a dynamic fusion of folk and contemporary sounds. Their acclaimed album, “A Table for Two,” a collection of Afro-Persian folk music, received the Silver Medal at the Global Music Awards, recognizing their innovative approach.
