Besrani Group foundation was established by Kamaran Hasan in 2005. The foundation is attempting to introduce Kurdish mystic music and Tamoura in Iraqi Kurdistan. Mr. Kamaran Hasan invited some of his students whom are playing Tamoura in order to gradually obtain knowledge and experience on how to play Tamoura as a band. Now, they are Tamoura players. The whole idea from developing those students is to introduce the ancient Tamoura tunes. The group now tries to present the Tamoura music as a model of Kurdish music. The works are tuned to the ancient Tamours, Master’s tune and the new tunes through using poets of the famous Kurdish poets.

The Besrani Group main objective behind all this is to preserve the important of this ancient instrument. Taking into account the fact that Tamoura’s Sufi music is one of the most original and ancient Kurdish music.

When he was 14 years old, Kamaran Hasan started learning Tamoura from his master Shahab Elahi, later he was honored to become one of the student of Mr. Kheykhosro Pournazeri. In the mean while, he managed to learn to play Tar instrument taking lessons from Mr. Pournazeri. Then become a member of the Shams Group which was ran by Mr. Kheykhosro Pournazeri
