Parvaz Homay, in this interview (Nov. 29, 2008) implies that there has been a conspiracy of silence by the Iranian Media against Goroohe-e Mastan in Iran because "perhaps they do not have the audacity" to say or write anything [about us] despite all the success this group has had in the US and Canada.
He also explains how his music is different from the present Iranian traditional music:
در تاريخ موسيقي ايران دريافتيم كه از زمان باربد نكيسا رودكي فارابي بو علي سينا تا زمان مولانا و حافظ و در اواخر صده گذشته عارف و شيدا و امير جاهد وچند تن ديگر تصنيف قالبي شعري محسوب مي شد كه همزمان همراه با ملودي توسط يك نفر ساخته و پرداخته مي شد .
اما سالهاست اين شيوه كه يكي از شيوه هاي موسيقي پارسي است و خاص موسيقي دانان و اديبان ايراني بوده به فراموشي سپرده شده است گروه مستان به سرپرستي هماي از آغاز تاسيس تاكنون سعي بر احياي دو باره اين شيوه دارد
Founded in 2005 by Saied Jafarzadeh also known as Parvaz Homay, The Mastan Group has become one of the prominent - traditional Persian music - ensemble from Iran. Only in his 20's, Homay is part of a very special group of Musicians who writes his own lyrics, composes, sings, produces and mixes his music in Iran. His ensemble consists of eight highly proficient Iranian musicians.
These young spiritual and talented Artists transmit their message of truth and unity through novel lyrics and music. They achieve this by refreshing the traditional and folkloric music and introducing a groundbreaking interpretation of classical Persian music and poetry.
Following the paths of the greatest Sufi masters Rumi and Hafez, The Mastan Group encourages its audiences to live consciously. They share the universal idea of striving for a creative life by flourishing love and peace from within.
In the opinion of this writer:
Gorooh e Mastan is perhaps the best thing has happened to Persian traditional music since Aaref Ghazvini of The "Iranian Constitutional Revolution era" of early 20th century. The most interesting character and characteristic of this young group is the leader, Homay. Almost all of poems (lyrics) he sings are written by him, which is the most unusual aspect of the Persian Traditional music. Even the few songs which are not his, have been chosen very carefully and boldly from the poets and thinkers of the past and present, who were ahead of their times, such as Parvin Etesami, and Sa'eb Tabrizi, and more.
