For fans of Darvak Persian Music Ensemble in San Diego California.

Darvak are a group of musicians who've been playing Persian music in San Diego since 1985. Their goal, in addition to friendship, crossing cultural bridges, learning the music, and having fun playing music, is to make Persian music accessible to young and non-Persian audiences.

Darvak - literally "tree frog" - is the title of a poem by the father of modern Persian poetry, Nima Ushij. Set to music by M.R. Lotfi in 1977 and sung by M.R. Shajarian in 1977, it remains a landmark in modern Persian music.

The Darvak logo was designed by Farzaneh Foroughi in 2003.
