The feature documentary 'A Godar Gathering' is a report on the music of a group of nomads from eastern Mazandaran, the Godar people. The Mazandaran nomads live scattered on the outskirts of towns and villages such as Nour, Chamestan, Amol, Babol, Qaemshahr, Savadkuh, Sari, Juybar, Neka, and Behshahr, extending to the foothills of the Gorgan mountains. The current population of the nomads in these areas is unknown, but it is estimated to be around thirty thousand. Most nomads, due to their constant movement, are largely deprived of urban and rural services. The Mazandaran nomads are primarily divided into two groups: 'Ghorbati' or 'Juki,' who are blacksmiths and woodworkers, and 'Godar,' who are wandering minstrels and hunters of boars in fields, reed beds, farmlands, and forests. It is said that these two groups of nomads were brought to Iran by Nader Shah after his campaign in India. Today, due to changes in urban and rural affairs and the obsolescence of many traditional agricultural and household tools, as well as the decline of local and ethnic music, these people, despite their hereditary and traditional attachment to their old customs, are forced to engage in other activities and jobs. The skilled minstrels of the Godar have managed to transform the music of eastern Mazandaran into a unique narrative by incorporating instruments like the dotar and kamancheh and by drawing on the music of northeastern Khorasan and Turkmen music. The Godar, like the Ghorbati or Juki, continue to lead a lifestyle that is uniquely their own.
