male vocals Slow-burning spiritual ballad in Shur/Abo Ata flavor at ~88 BPM in 6/4 male vocals. Tār and setār carry the main motifs with subtle santur phrases and breathy ney lines answering the voice. Deep round tombak and daf frame a meditative groove with sparse frame drum flourishes on section changes. Verses stay close to the tonic with intimate half-whispered delivery; chorus opens the register inviting call-and-response and long melismatic tails. Reverb is warm and natural like a small tekyeh space—vocal sits just ahead of the ensemble ornamented but never rushed.
