Shahab Tolouie, Persian & Flamenco Fusionist and singer...

Shahab Tolouie's first strokes on guitar were at the age of eight. He self-studied for almost six-years, took Persian and Jazz music lessons from various teachers, and then started performing. Step by step he gained a respect among musicians, has played with some of the greatest Iranian music masters and performed many concerts throughout Iran. He received the highest-level certificate for Flamenco music after studying his master course in Spain. This diversified background was the reason Shahab incorporated a multicultural style into his music, which he consideres 'EthnoFlamenco' or 'Persian Flamenco Fusion,' his special contribution to world music.

Shahab has shared the stage with great musicians such as Tommy Emmanuel, Kamran Kamkar, Dylan Fowler, Peppino D'Agostino, Andrea Benzoni and Oscar Guzman. As a multi-instrumentalist Shahab uses different Persian Traditional instruments such as the Setar, Tanbour, Delroba, Laud, Daf and Dammam, in his own compositions. Shahab's style is inspired by Persian music, which he has very carefully paralleled with Flamenco elements. The lyrics are chosen from the ancient Sufi poems of Moulana Rumi, the unique Ghazals of Hafez, and the poems of Ferdousi, all very unusual and unique for modern music <1> References
