Amir Vahab's repertoire is grounded in traditional Persian poetry and music that he believes is part of the global heritage, and needs to be both taught and preserved. Performed in multiple languages, the evening will weave together spoken word and songs set to 13th-14th century poetry from Rumi, Hafiz and Yunus Emre. “Music should be so powerful such that one is powerlessly dragged to the unknown. It should invade the listener’s mind to the point of losing awareness.” — Amir Vahab
