Mohsen Namjoo delighted a sold-out and enthusiastic audience in Philadelphia on Saturday night Feb. 8th with his unique style of music which might be described as a fusion of classical Iranian music and poetry woven through a new and expressionist soundscape. Mohsen Namjoo was accompanied on the drums by his friend and collaborator, Yahya Alkhansa.
His interview with Philadelphia's premiere alternative music radio station, WXPN can be viewed through this link: http://thekey.xpn.org/2014/02/08/in-exile-mohsen-namjoo-yearns-to-cast-off-pigeon-holing/ NEXT MEETING
