She wears pleated skirts and paisley vests; throws a small lace shawl over her hair and sings folk songs in local dialects. Men, women and children alike hum these songs across, songs that both entertain and sadden, songs that are sung by Sima Bina. Bina performs at concerts all over the world, which is what makes her audiences so international. Her sweet voice, which sings folk songs and which is accompanied by traditional musical instruments, could charm any audience. During a performance, she stands next to a nearly-all female band dressed in traditional costume playing instruments, such as the tar, the kamancheh, the setar, the kanun and the santour.
