Recently, I have discovered that I love Persian/Iranian music. I'm not good at explaining the type of music it is, so I won't try. Instead, I can link to two CDs in particular that I am enamored with at the moment.
The first, is The Passion of Rumi by Shahram Nazeri
The second is Without You by Masters of Persian music:

In particular, my favorite songs on these CDs are the more dramatic and/or faster paced ones.
Can anybody provide me some more recommendations based on this? Thanks!
