Sharok Vafa

A popular and much sought-after singer on the east coast of the United States, where he now makes his home, Sharok was trained in Iran and the United States, in both classical Persian and Western singing techniques. Versatile in his range, from the heaviest avaz chanting of ancient Sufi songs, to love ballads of the 1950s and ‘60s in Iran, to contemporary, computer-rocking renditions of new Persian poetry, Sharok stretches the boundaries of technique and content.
