with a new album and tour, Namjoo bridges the U.S. and Iran with music & lyrics
With a new album "Thirteen/Eight" that is a collaboration with California-based musicians, Iran's inimitable Mohsen Namjoo and his Ensemble will appear at the beautiful classic art deco Orpheum Theatre on Sunday May 20, 2012 at 7:00 pm." "Thirteen/Eight" is a compilation of six pieces by Namjoo that were developed in the United States during the past year. Mohssen Namjoo's music is best known for two facts: combining Persian (Iranian) traditional music with western music (Jazz, Blues and Rock) leading to intelligently-arranged assimilative music and a whole new way of singing, the latter being the point he has been very criticized upon.
