How we Formed
A Trio has always been one of my biggest fears, since many of my biggest idols were trios (the Police, Paco de Lucía trio, Cream, Jimmy Hendrix ...etc.)
There’s no place to hide in a Trio. In my opinion a trio is either great or a bad. There’s no Normal Trio. But after a series of events we are now not only a Trio, but also a family. And I’m loving it.
Our Future
We concluded last year setting up the rhythm for the next one by releasing 2 new songs Pasokh and Yalda. One of them as a video to support people of Iran on their brave ongoing movement for freedom. Following the rhythm Trio is working on thier new album. On one side, it is a continuation of the peculiar sound and style but on the other, it is a new story that reflects present days and feelings. Also Shahab is laying down the scores for the new expression of his music, that will be shared with you during this year. Stay tuned.
"I enjoyed the songs very much. The musicianship was incredible and I was very impressed after reading Shahab's Bio. This is among the strongest World Music projects that I've received in a LONG time. The guitar playing and tone were amazing. This music really made my day."Eugene Foley - Founder, President of Foley Entertainment, Inc [USA]

The Band
We love being in a brothers band
Shahab Tolouie
Formed In 1995
2 Albums
Iranian composer, fusionist, guitarist and singer. Known as pioneer of an exciting exploration smelting musical traditions of the two powerful musical lands of Iran and Spain by combining them into his own expression of Persian and Flamenco fusion. This alloy, unique to him, he places within the wider category he has labelled Ethnoflamenco.
"Shahab Tolouie has blessed the music world with a magical fusion. He brings us a rare and talented gift that brilliantly blends the Persian instruments of an ancient world, with the soul-stirring Andalusian heartbeat of traditional Flamenco. "Lita Luise Chappell [USA] Sequoia records
