Tar

Tar is a traditional Persian music genre that dates back to the 18th century. It is characterized by its slow tempo and intricate melodic lines. It is typically performed on the tar, a long-necked lute-like instrument. Tar music is often improvisational and can be accompanied by other instruments such as the setar, tombak, and santur. It is often used in classical Persian music and is a popular genre in Iran and other parts of the Middle East.
