Ensemble Shanbehzadeh

イベント情報



Paris‐based Saeid Shanbehzadeh and his son Naghib dive deep into the trance‐like vocals and compelling rhythms of Boushehr in Southern Iran, a neglected corner of the Middle East, where Persian, African, and Indian sounds have merged for 500 years.

The diversity of this regional music is the result of an astonishing richness of traditions, where the music plays a vital part in all the aspects of the life: religion, work, social events, dramas and fears. Shanbehzadeh's roots go back to the East African island of Zanzibar; his hip‐swinging dances, unique bagpipe, striking double flute, and stirring percussion reveal an unexpected side of Iranian music, one steeped in traditions from around the Persian Gulf.

More than a mix of the mystical and the melancholic, this event also an invitation to celebration, in Ljubljana's Cankarjev Dom.
