Biography

Moradi was born in Dorud, Loristan. 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,^[8] his first recordings were distributed in 1981.

In 1991, Moradi performed at the Avignon festival (southern France) and on the program of Persian nights July 31 and August 1, 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]^[7]
