Sormeh<\/h2>\n

Persian music<\/p>\n

Golnar Shahyar and Mona Matbou Riahi, both from Iran, and Jelena Popr\u017ean from Serbia have come together to form this exciting trio which, ranging in repertoire from Oriental to Balkan music, found its cosmopolitan compromise in the traditions of Jewish Music and in idiosyncratic arrangements and improvisational ardor. Persian, Yiddish, Armenian, Bulgarian, Greek, and Sephardic songs, smoking instrumental Klezmer- and Balkan broadsides, poetry set to music, timeless chansons, and original compositions, this is music that dissolves mental and stylistic reservations. It is elegant and mysterious like eyeliner on Oriental eyes, precisely the meaning of the Persian word “Sormeh”.<\/p>\n

Izvor<\/h2>\n

Music of the Southern Balkans<\/p>\n

The group IZVOR from Vranje (Serbia) preserves and performs traditional Balkan music that is part of the national heritage of the Serbs, Bulgarians, Macedonians, Gorans, Greeks and Turks. Members of the group have played together since January 2004, yet they were previously devoted to the same kind of music either through family origin (Ivana Tasic) or in their individual or group work. Their interpretation of traditional songs has been formed with the help of experience in the collection of field recordings. This field research has been undertaken in original urban environments as well as in remote and inaccessible mountain areas. In addition, traditional knowledge has been adopted directly from the masters of instruments in Macedonia and Greece, and also by using original traditional instruments while simultaneously preserving the specific Balkan musical scales.<\/p>\n
