Music from Mazanderan
The folkloric music of this region holds some special kind of melancholy such as the heart-rending voices of this region do. The specific instuments from Mazanderan are: Lalewa (flute), Kamancheh (lap-fiddle) and Dotar (with only 2 strings). The ancient Songs of Mazanderan such as: Katuli, Amiri, Hala-i present the character of this music with its heights and depths in the pitch level..

Music from South-Khorasan (Torbat-e-Jam)
The musical centre of South-Khorasan is the city Torbate-jam. The inhabitants of this city were always familiar with the Dotar. Here old and young, women and men sing poems such as those of the great Abdolrahman Djami, accompanied by the sound of the Dotar. The predominant mystic music of this region contains a great variety of Maghams. During the concert melodies of "Magham Oshtorkhadju" and "Magham Ahu" will be performed. Besides ancient pieces in the dialect of the region like: Sarhaddi, Djamshidi, Hazaregi.
