]]> TEHRAN – Ahmad Aqvam-Shokuhi, a veteran naqareh player who performed during religious rituals at the holy shrine of Imam Reza (AS) for 72 years, died of natural causes in Mashhad on Wednesday.

Naqareh is a long wind instrument that is played from minarets or cities’ towers.

The 90-year old Aqvam-Shokuhi was honored for his lifetime achievements at the Razavi Sounds and Melodies Festival held in Tehran in July 2017.

“I have been playing the instrument for many years. I have never had a day off. Every day, 20 minutes before sunrise, 20 minutes before eight in the morning, 20 minutes before sunset and after evening prayers we play the naqareh,” he had said in his short speech at the ceremony.
