The foundation of his work is traditional southern Iranian music from Abadan, Bandar Abbas, Boushehr and other places. He like to put it in contemporary clothing so that people who arenʹt normally interested in traditional sounds listen to it. He simply play folk music with its sound adapted to the present day. On having a master to learn instruments Habib Meftah calls his music “all hand-made” and asserts:

“That kind of thing wasnʹt usual where Iʹm from. I drank music in through my heart, as they say. I just listened to and watched the older men playing – and didnʹt ask anything”.
