Description
The tradition of pahlavāni—a unique blend of physical strength, spiritual discipline, and moral integrity—has been an integral part of Iranian culture for centuries. The zurkhānehs, where these ancient customs were practiced, were not only arenas for athletic training but also spaces that instilled humility and perseverance. At the heart of this tradition lies pahlavāni music, a genre that inspires virtue, resilience, and a sense of honor. This playlist revives the noble spirit of Iranian chivalry, a spirit that has been buried for the past four decades.
