Badieh: Songs from the Greater Khorasan (Afghanistan\/Iran)
Advertisement
Discover the power and beauty of traditional music from the borderlands of Iran and Afghanistan.
Audiences can expect a deeply immersive and transportive experience, as Badieh brings to life the rich and rarely heard folk music traditions of Greater Khorasan - the cultural heartland spanning eastern Iran and northern Afghanistan. With a combination of traditional instruments (rubab, setar) and centuries-old melodies, the duo creates a sonic journey that is both meditative and emotionally powerful.
What sets this performance apart is Badieh’s rare authenticity and attention to cultural detail. This is not fusion or reinterpretation for the sake of novelty - it’s a respectful, meticulously researched revival of a fading oral tradition, performed with cinematic sensitivity and contemporary resonance. Whether you’re drawn to world music, classical traditions, or atmospheric live performance, Badieh offers a unique window into an ancient musical world - one that feels timeless, vital, and deeply human.
