Mohsen Namjoo

One of the most exciting musical incidents of our era, Mohsen Namjoo has truly advanced the pace of evolution of Iranian popular music. His brave and courageous foray into uncharted territory takes you boldly with him as if he has just grabbed your hand in his full speed reckless stride and hurries you along, with him into the darkness and the unknown. And you don’t mind at all!

Kiosk

Classic Persian Rock may sound like an oxymoron but if you hear Kiosk just one time, you’ll know I’m right; it’s rock and it’s classic, and it’s most definitely Persian! And if you listen a second time, you’ll be a goner for the charm, wit and humble genius of Arash and fellow musicians in the band, Kiosk.
Cool brooding edgy lyrics in Farsi (that could conceivably go into the poetry section) set to Western Rock, masterfully intertwining two cultures like it’s the most natural thing in the world.

Namaad

Namaad is a contemporary Persian classical music Ensemble. It was formed by five outstanding musicians to play original compositions on both modern and classical poetry of Iran. Passionate and hunting melodies that are performed by Kourosh Taghavi on the Setar and Saeed Kamjoo on the Kamanche and Qeychak find their oneness when percussions by Mehrdad Arabi and Afshin Mehrassa on colorfully create the needed space in which the beautiful voice of Khosro Ansari tells the stories of our time.

Haale

Soon she was begging her older brother to teach her guitar and singing through a microphone she had plugged into an old radio in her families living room.

Shahin & Sepehr

While their names may seem indicative of something exotic and unfamiliar, the music of Shahin Shahida (acoustic and Spanish guitars) and Sepehr Haddad (guitars and keyboards) is smooth, easy-listening material designed to rest comfortably on Western ears.
