I keep reading about "Shani" and her music, but there was one vocal by an Iranian guy which I heard throughout the film that really was amazing. I can't find any soundtrack listing here.. does anyone know the name of the guy who does that or where I can find his music?
shareI just saw the movie as well and I'm very interested in seeing if the Soundtrack becomes available. Perhaps this can be added as something to purchase from the official site. I'm sure it would be very popular.
Cheers,

I am curious about a different piece of music from this film, I don't find it in the credits.
It is heard during the scene at the graveside, then going into the following scenes.
It goes something like "Eleison, Eleison. Dona nobis pacem."
Lyrics of the song used in DVD menu and some scenes is :
Man Bi Mey e Naab Zistan Natvaanam
Bi Baadeh Keshid Baar e Tan Natvaanam
Man Bandeh e Aan Dam-am Keh Saaghi Goyad
Yek Jaam e Degar Begir o Man Natvaanam
Which is one of Khayyam's beautiful poems ...
unfortunately it's not on cerdit ...
The Soundtrack is available exclusively through www.keepermovie.com , the film's official website.
The name of the song/vocal by the Iranian guy is called "Omar" and is sung by Jahan Ghasghaei. It was tailor made specifically for the film and is only available on the Soundtrack.
elton ahi ( farokh ahi) did the sound track.
He did tracks for andy, kouros , shahram shabpareh among others.
To be honest he should keep to producing bubble gum persian pop music and leave soundtrack work to others who know what soundtrack is about.
I think M.Isham did a better job in expressing Persian music in his work on ost of "crash" ( keeping that in mind that Mark Isham is not even persian!!
but despite that his rework of dokhtar-e boyer-ahmadi is a homage to Persian folklore music)
what really bothers me is the sound track when the selcuk king was partying
I mean come on , couldn't they hire real musician and do some additional work to create real traditional Persian music instead of letting a computer do the work ?
personally I think it's a lack of skills and/or trying to be modern.
