Bijan Chemirani, younger son of Iranian percussionist Djamchid Chemirani, began studying traditional Iranian percussion at an early age. Born and raised in France, this gave him flexibility to adapt his style to other genres of music, and to help establish the zarb as one of the world’s foremost percussion instruments. Besides the zarb, he plays the daf, riqq, and cajon.
