Reza Manbachi

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I remember I went to Habil Aliyev's concert and as a surprise, Mohammad Reza Shajarian went up on the stage and they performed together for a song. This was the first time I saw them both live. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Hossein Alizadeh, Torkaman Mohammad-Reza Shajarian, Bi To Be Sar Nemishavad Yo-Yo Ma, Bach: Cello Suites Nos. 1-6, BWV 1007-1012 (2009 Remaster) All three bring back tons of memories throughout my life. I can connect to all three on a very deep level as they touch different parts of my soul. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special.
