Mohammad
Ebrahimi began his musical journey during high school from 1968-1974
in pre-revolution Iran where he began the rigorous apprenticeship
in traditional or classical Persian music.
After
several years of training under some of the best masters of
Persian music, he took the tests for becoming an actual instructor,
coming in first and second place in several categories of instruction.
Shortly
after this accomplishment, he was recruited by Iran's ministry
of art and culture under the department of folklore, chartered
to promote Persian classical music across Iran. As a result
he travelled to many interesting places inside Iran and learned
even more from the local ethnic and cultural muscial styles
specific to each region.
Mohammad
came to the US in 1984, and with the partnership of his younger
brother Mehran, began to perform at local
weddings, engagement parties and traditional Persian functions,
bringing smiles and heart warming memories to all in attendance.
Today
the Ebrahimi brothers are often sought for traditional Persian
events, as well as performing in international folk music events.
They also
provide expert instruction for those interested in learning
to play the traditional Persian instruments of Santur, Tonbak,
Flute, Daf, Sorna, and Dohol.
