Iran er et land med flere nasjoner, flere forskjellige språk og mange titalls ulikedialekter rundt omkring i landet.

Dette gjør Iran til et fargerikt land med mange muligheter. Iranske myndigheter har undertrykt dette de siste 100 år og har istedenfor mangfold ønsket likhet. Mange iranere er nå i fe rd å gjennopptage sin opprinnelse og Nezam Rajabzadeh vil vise sin Luriske opprinnelseog tradisjon for verden igjen. Luristan eller Lorestan en stor del av dagens Iran og lurerne utgjør 10 prosent av befolkningen i dagens Iran.

ENG:

Iran is an amalgamate of many nations, with many different languages and a great number of dialects.

In modern times – since the early 19-hundreds and onwards – the politics of the authorities was that of centralization to create a homogenous state.
These politics were fatal for millions of Iranians during the twentieth century. Many Iranians are now trying to rediscover their origin and with this CD, Nezam Rajabzadeh is a important voice to show the Lurian tradition to the world again.
Luristan / Lorestan a large part of today’s Iran and Lurians account for 10 percent of the population in Iran today.

This is a unique possibility given to the people of Lorestan, and we are happy to havebeen allowed to take part in process and to make the Luri culture visible around the world.

The release of this CD is the result of a co-operation with various institutions in Norway, and it is a contribution from the people of Norway to make the Luri culture known.
