The alphabet of traditional Iranian music
As you know, the world of music is full of foreign and fascinating words, some of which we have not even heard. In this section, we will discuss some of these alphabets and names:
Gosheh-e-Maqam: The smallest identifying part of the original Iranian music series is called Gosheh-e-Maqam, which includes old songs that are sung in different parts of Iran.
Instrument: Some corners of the original music, because they are located in a specific area, therefore have the same atmosphere. All the corners with the same climate are collected in a set called the device.
Singing: A set of several song corners. Songs belonging to the original Iranian musical instrument such as Abu Atta (belonging to the Shoor system), Bayat Turk song (belonging to the Shoor system), Afshari song (belonging to the Shoor system), Dashti song (belonging to the Shoor system), Bayat Kurd song ( Belongs to the Shoor instrument), Avaz Bayat Isfahan (belongs to Homayoun)
Iranian Music Row: A collection of all Iranian songs and corners have been collected in an Iranian book called Iranian Music Row. The row of Iranian music is in fact the encyclopedia of Iranian traditional music.
Ink Reading: This model of reading that the musician starts from one device and enters another device is called ink reading.
Shahed note: The note that has the most use in each instrument and song is called Shahed note.
Step: In Western music, step is a device that consists of two categories, minor and major.
Repertoire: Equivalent to row in Western music.
Dong: Each of the four notes that are placed in a row is called a dong.

Judging the Music Festival POM (Persian Original Music) in Tehran
Javad Safaee (Bcoo) also said that a music festival will be held in Tehran on June 20 and he has been selected as the judge.
Finally, Javad Safaee (Bcoo) said that his new album (Mixed 2), which is a mixture of traditional and modern Iranian music, is to be released in the coming years and is currently being made.
The mixed album version one had a lot of views on Iran’s domestic platforms, so that this album was the second most visited album on the Iranian billboard in 2020.
However, it is noteworthy that this album did not get many views on international platforms and did not gain a place, program director of Javad Safaee says that the reason is that people around the world are not familiar with the language of Iranian music, ie Persian.
