IRANIAN SANTOUR MUSIC:
Faraz Minooei, Santour
Free Admission.
The Downtown Berkeley Association (DBA), in conjunction with Freight & Salvage, is launching the first-ever Downtown Berkeley MusicFest on August 21-24, 2008. A featured venue will be a new cross-cultural community center called OneWorldWalk (OWW www.oneworldwalk.org), which is the newest project of the global music organization Listen for Life, whose headquarters is in Berkeley.
During the four days of the MusicFest this week, OneWorldWalk will host nearly 30 concerts, ranging from Native American pow-wow drumming to Celtic harp, from Chinese ghuzeng music to Tuvan throat singing and African American folk songs. Two very special concerts are going to be held as benefit fundraisers to provide understanding of the countries/cultures that have created this wonderful music.
On Sunday, August 24, at 9pm, the festival performances will conclude at OWW with a special performance on the Santour by Faraz Minooei. Faraz's expressive musicality creates poetry on the santour and this lovely sound will give the listener a glimpse of the culture and its people, and will definitely create peace within the walls of OWW, if not on the planet!
