The Bushehr peninsula resembles a whale in the northern Persian Gulf. The climate in Bushehr is semi-desert and warm. The port of Bushehr, which has a long history of over three thousand years, is the origin of many ancient beliefs and customs. The inhabitants of Bushehr speak Persian and their main business is sea trade and fishing.
What has come together in the album Az (from) Bushehr is a free interpretation of southern Iranian music, especially the music of Bushehr, combined with other musical cultures – a journey whose sonic color knows no geographical boundaries – and largely a nostalgic reminder of the melody and colors, the sun and heat, the sea and sultriness, the tranquility and playfulness of the Bushehr region and the south of Iran, which are always with us as the creators of the album.

In an interview with Bamdade Jonub, Salam Riazy talks about the creation of the album „Az Bushehr“.
