So many kinds of Iranian pop and folk are mostly in 3/4 or 6/8. It's kinda strange. but makes it easy to identify as from there

↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @7:22
yeah, Talas if I understand (?) are way more elaborate and complicated, and a classical form, (?) But that Iranian 6/8 obsession is in just about all the pop stuff (a general observation) A friend used to play bass at Iranian weddings, the dances were all 6/8
