Getak is a South Iranian band, from the region Boushehr. The name comes from a specific type of bush that grows in salt marsh despite all environmental limitations. Boushehr for years has been the residence of various tribes and nations that have migrated for different reasons such as business, immigration and also military occupancy. For example, after the African slaves’ entrance into Boushehr, most parts of Boushehr music have been affected by black Africans.
