Nima, love songs of Mazandarân

Mazandaran region in the very north of Iran, a narrow land situated between the highest mountains of the country and the Caspian sea, shelter a rich and divers heritage of the Persian ancient culture. From work songs to lyrics, the traditional music of Mazandaran is basically inspired by the traditional life style of its people.
Nima ensemble was created in Amol in 2000. The basic idea of its founder, Fazlollah Dehghan, then playing in Ahmad Mohsenpour’s ensemble, was to bring together young musicians of the region to perform traditional songs. Since then, Nima is one of the active groups of the musical life of Mazandaran and all around the country and one of the rare groups performing with the traditional instruments of the region. The simplicity and preciseness of their music make them a very pleasant and charming ensemble.
