Improvisational Iranian Music – Saturday Oct. 8, 2011
Hadi Karimi Asil and Ahmad Yousefbeigi, both native Iranians, met at a musical gathering in Seattle in 2010. After playing together for several minutes- Hadi on Tar (a Persian fretted string instrument) and Ahmad on Tonbak (a carved goblet drum) – they realized their approach to music was very similar. Their musical storytelling is completely improvised, engaging and conversational; it depends on the moment and no two performances are identical. Their first improvised performance at the 2011 Northwest Folklife Festival received a standing ovation.

“What Does Being Iranian American Mean to You?” – Exhibit your answers at Iranian Festival 2011!
The 2011 Iranian Festival is participating in Seattle Center’s Festál Fabric of America Project: E=mc2 (Engaging through Media to spread Culture at the speed of light). This participatory art and social media project creates a forum for people to define and present their cultures, and connect to others.
Many Iranian Americans are constantly engaged in a balancing act between their Iranian roots and the realities of their lives in the United States. Bringing together various traditions, values, and histories through digital media and arts is an essential step in re-creating the intersectionality and multiplicity of our identities and experiences as Iranian Americans.
So tell with us, “What does being Iranian American mean to you?” Join us on the FFAP website for the Iranian Festival or submit your images here. Combine images and text in a creative way and share what matters to you through images, symbols, and words.
