Partially TRANSLATION of the speech.
He is talking about historical and musical aspect of Harmonica. He is very good and knowledgeable at what he is talking about. At minute 9 he starts to use Harmonica to play Persian traditional and folkloric Music with it, then he takes another harmonica out of his pocket which was being changed from original western harmonica and being specially made based on and for Persian music notes, the Persian style version of harmonica has been built by one of his friends but he's the inventor of the Persian style usage of Harmonica for the first time. And eventually he is explaining that he is working on Harmonica for Persian music for 11 years and he will continue to make it better and wishes the western world hears the traditional Persian music through this Instrument.

@@HarmonicaShala Persian/Farsi which is Iranians' language.
Sorry but Persian music is just not good enough.
for whom ?
Sorry but you are not a Music cynosure , So that's your none relevant opinion .
The word "MUSIC" itself is coming from Persian word, "mosighi", this shows the power and root of music in the world heritage. The name for instrument "Guitar" and Indian instrument "sitar" is from Persian traditional instrument "taar" and "setar". These are just some surface for such a great historic musical culture. When the world moves on many things changes and one of them is people's tastes, mostly pop culture one, and this is the reason feeling for more traditional taste belong to experts mostly.
yes we're good in poetry
