Nazeri's voice to honor Persian Gulf

Iranian vocalist Shahram Nazeri will give performances in the southern Iranian city of Bushehr on the occasion of Iran National Persian Gulf Day.

He will hold the performances at the Fajr Hall of the south western Iranian city of Bushehr on April 29 and 30; the latter date is concurrent with the Iran National Persian Gulf Day.

The 'Persian nightingale' as he is known, is a renowned vocalist of mystic Persian poetry in Iran and will perform in the commemoration ceremony of Iran's national day of Persian Gulf.

His efforts to spread a message of peace from Iran across the world was the reason Nazeri was chosen for the event.

In September 2007, Nazeri received the French Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres Medal for his significant role in advancing traditional Persian music.

Iran has designated April 30 as National Persian Gulf day, as the Persian Gulf, a historic waterway, is part of the natural heritage of Iran.

Based on irrefutable historical documents,' the body of water lying to the south of Iran is and has always been known as the Persian Gulf.

Certain circles of doubtful reputation have for some time tried to use a distorted name for the Persian gulf, but to those with even a superficial knowledge of world history or geography it remains the Persian Gulf.
