Erfan Tahmasbi (born September 16, 1997, Shushtar, Khuzestan) is an Iranian (Bakhtiari-Lur) songwriter, singer, and composer based in Ahvaz.[1][2][3][4][5] He was first publicly seen on Asr Jadid, where he sang his self-written and composed song, "Mah Mo" (Southern Luri: ماه مو, lit. 'My Moon') and held his first concert in 2024 in Tehran.[6]

Personal life

Erfan Tahmasbi was born on September 17, 1997, in Shushtar, Khuzestan, Iran.[3][6]

Career

Because his older brother sang and played musical instruments, Erfan also became interested in music from a young age, but he never had an academic education in the field of music.[6]

In an interview with Deutsche Welle, Tahmasbi said that as a teenager he began acting under his teacher Majid Behdari and after a few years became interested in reciting the Shahnameh.[6][5] In 2016, Tahmasbi invented and performed a new style of reciting the Shahnameh; reciting Ferdowsi's poems in the tone of pop music while simultaneously explaining the story (narrative), which led Zia al-Din Hajari Mohaqiq, a writer and head of the Persian Language Refinement Association, to use the term "Khaniya Hengameh Khan" to address him for the first time. He believed that "Erfan is both a singer and a Hengameh reciter".[6]

In 2020, he appeared on the second season of Asr Jadid, where his performance of the song "Golom Golom" (Southern Luri: گُلُم گُلُم, lit. 'my rose, my rose') went viral in Iranian media.[7] The special attention paid by prominent Iranian music critic Hooman Khalatbari to his performance caused the music community to pay more attention to his works.

After Tahmasbi won the runner-up title in the program, he began his artistic career with the "Avaye Honar" cultural and artistic publishing company.
