Biography
Moradi was born in Dorud, Lorestan province. He started learning music as a child and learned Sorna from his father. In 1971, he began radio work; he then performed at the major cultural festivals in Iran, including those of Shiraz and Tehran. Thanks to the efforts of the Luri musician Ali Akbar Shekartchi,[7] his first recordings were distributed in 1981.
In 1991, Moradi performed at the Avignon festival (southern France) and on the program of Persian nights 31 July and 1 August, at two successive concerts in the Cloître des Célestins in Paris. His son, Reza Moradi, used to accompany him on the dohol; Reza Moradi is also a kamancheh player, an instrument that he learned from his father.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
