Bamshad (in Persian: بامشاد) was one of the four most famous and skilled musicians lived in the Persian Sassanid dynasty when Khosrau II was in power. He used to play music with passion and full of energy in the beginning of everyday in the time of dawn, for this reason, people were always happy and pleased. That's why he was called Bam+shad (dawn+happiness). The other three famous musicians in the Persian Sassanid dynasty were: Barbad, Nakisa and Ramtin.
