Sultaniz or Sultanies (Arabic: فرقة سلطانيز) were a musical band of Bahraini Iranians who published songs in Persian (Farsi), and folklore songs of Laristan in Achomi (Bastaki dialect) and Arabic. This group is known in Bahrain as "Sultaniz/Sultanies group" (Arabic: فرقة سلطانيز). The first album of this group was released in 1989 and the last album was released in 2003. The main singer of the group was "Ahmad Sultan".

Their Bastaki song "Naz Akon Naz Akon" inspired by Yusuf Hadi Bastaki's folkloric song of the same name,[1] is one of the most popular songs of this group.[2] Kouros Shahmiri's song "Naz Nakon", which was released later (1998 AD),[3][note 1][4] was inspired by Sultaneez's song "Naz Akon", which was released on June 25, 1990.[5][note 2] Additionally, the song "Chayi Chayi" by Kouros was also inspired by the song of Soltaniz "Chayi Chayeem Kalam Dard Akon", which was released in 1989.[6][7] Other songs like "Raftom Bebagh" (رفتوم به باغ) later inspired other songs such as Iraqi Arabic "Hallah Hallah Ya Jamallak" (Arabic: هالله هالله يا جمالك) by Oras Sattar.[8][note 3]

History

[edit]

The Band was formed in august 1985 in Tariq Sultan’s engagement party in the Hilton hotel, Bahrain, they continued to gain in popularity by the people of Bahrain and south Iran up until their dissolution in January of 2006.[citation needed]

During their years of activity, Sultaneez performed on Bahrain television and music festivals, and have influenced the musicians of the new southern singers of Iran. It is because of this that Sultanies are remembered as one of the most influential bands of southern Iranian (Bandari) music.[citation needed]

After their dissolution Ahmed Sultan moved to singing with renowned Bahraini singer Ali Bahar and Jamal Al-Seeb and released a collaborative Album titled "Carnival Bahraini" (Arabic: كرنڤال بحريني),[9] and then after that he started singing solo, releasing an album, "Ismahili," which translates to "forgive me."[citation needed]

Ahmed Sultan currently works at the Bahrain Economic Development Board (Bahrain EDB),[10][11][12] he is an Executive Director – International Offices & Business Development (Manufacturing, Transport & Logistics).[10][11][12]

On August 19, 2024, Ahmed Sultan remastered his songs "Naz Akon + Raftom Bebagh," bringing a fresh and updated sound to the beloved track.[13]

Concerts

[edit]

Sultanies were known for their concerts in which they performed famous Arabic, Farsi, English and sometimes Achomi music from their albums, even though their last album was published in 2003, they still performed concerts, mostly at weddings and parties. Their last concert was their retirement concert in 2006 which included Arabic and Persian songs like the Persian song from Mansour “Azize Delami” their first performance was at 1985 at Tariq sultan’s engagement party, their first performance was what started the band with the original members (Ahmed sultan, Yousef sultan and Habib sultan).
