Folk music reflects how ordinary people live, celebrate, mourn, and remember. Unlike classical music, which often requires years of formal training, folk music belongs to the community itself — shaped by shared experience rather than written theory. One of the most important spaces for folk music in Iran is the wedding ceremony. Weddings are musical events as much as social ones, often lasting several days and featuring continuous live performance. Each region has its own rhythms, instruments, and dances. The music is energetic, repetitive, and emotionally uplifting, designed to bring entire communities together rather than showcase individual talent. Clapping, group dancing, and call-and-response singing are common, turning listeners into participants. SOURCE
