Persian Poetry of Rebellion Hits a Classical Note
 
Ossyan (rebellion): Classical Persian music by Namâd Ensemble breathes new life
into the works of rebel Iranian poets, Forough Farrokhzad and Siavosh Kasraei.

"Namâd Ensemble connects contemporary audiences to classical Persian music. It
was formed by five outstanding musicians who create original compositions based
on both the modern and classical poetry of Iran . Passionate and haunting
melodies that are performed Kourosh Taghavi on the Setar, and Saeed Kamjoo on
the Kamanche and Queychak, poetically fuse with percussions by Mehrdad Arabi and
Afshin Mehrassa colorfully creating the needed space in which the beautiful
voice of Khosro Ansari tells the stories of our times."
