The enduring melodies of the doneli, brought to life through his gifted hands, told the story of the identity, history, natural environment and culture of the people of Balochistan, and stood as a symbol of the cultural diversity of Iran; a diversity whose safeguarding is among UNESCO\u2019s foremost responsibilities in protecting the shared heritage of humanity.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Through his authentic artistry, he introduced Balochi music and the doneli to international cultural forums, earning respect and recognition both in Iran and abroad. In some cultural accounts of his participation in the Avignon International Festival in France, he was referred to as the \u201cPearl of the Ocean.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Master Espand\u0101r\u2019s artistic legacy is a valuable example of the musical knowledge and traditions of previous generations. Preserving and transmitting this legacy is a cultural responsibility for today\u2019s society.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The passing of this artist is a loss for Iran\u2019s regional music and intangible cultural heritage. Yet his name and art will continue to live on in the cultural memory of this land.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">On behalf of Iran\u2019s National Commission for UNESCO, I extend my heartfelt condolences on this loss to the family of the late Master Espand\u0101r, the culture-loving people of Sistan and Baluchestan, Iran\u2019s music and artistic community, and all those who cherish the country\u2019s cultural heritage.
