Tehna by Rastak
Tehna, which means “alone” in the Bakhtiari dialect, is our interpretation of a Bakhtiari song. Tehna’s arrangement is based on Rastak’s experiences combining electronic and Iranian ethnic music. We dedicate this piece to the pure souls who stand for freedom.
Rastak is one of the most well-known bands in Iranian contemporary folk music, which was formed as an experimental music group in 1997. The group seeks to collect, record, and interpret Iranian folk music for a global audience. Rastak incorporates language, culture, and history, merging traditional instruments and forms with contemporary rhythms.
