KUWAIT, Aug 17 (KUNA) -- Music lovers in Kuwait were taken to the mystical land of Persia by the Iranian Nirez Troupe, which presented a colorful music recital at Abdulaziz Hussein Center Thursday evening.
The four female instrumentalists and the solo male singer presented a selection of Persian pieces using their country's traditional instruments: Santur, Qanoun, Tombak, and Tar.
