This Is Tehran?
This Is Tehran?" invites you to discover this music scene and marvel at its diversity. From contemporary classical and electronic sounds with Saba Alizadeh on the Iranian spiked fiddle Kamanche or Siavash Molaeian together with Kasra Faridi on the piano to the well-known experimental electronic mastermind Ata "Sote" Ebtekar. The near-club beats of a wild cooperation between renown sorna player Ehsan Abdipour and Andreas Spechtl from the band Ja, Panik stand naturally next to jazzy sounds of Parastoo Ahmadi or Mina Momeni. The Otagh Band invites you to the dark, trip-hop laden "Rotenburg," which they wrote about the "Cannibal of Rotenburg." "This is Tehran?" is 30M Records second release, and presents the capitals wild creative energy with tracks that span contemporary classical, to experimental electronics to trip-hop and jazz in a mesmerizing journey through a fascinating culture. The beautiful album artwork was designed by Farhad Fozouni.
