OUTSIDERS: Sonic Imaginaries | Iran's Funky Town' w/ Katayoun

Sonic Imaginaries is a show by Katayoun with sounds spanning from soulful Persian Avaz to jazzy tunes, upbeat funk, Latin rhythms, and synth from Iran and beyond. Bringing to the fore a host of underknown gems and narratives by way of musical storytelling, Katayoun’s work has long recontextualized Iranian music from the 60s and 70s from a generic realm of ‘nostalgia’ and oblivion into a specific and sonically dynamic space of universality, temporality, and relationality. This iteration muses on visiting Iran’s Funkytown of the 70s – the cosmopolitan city of Tehran – with tracks by Ramesh, Martik, and Hayedeh.

Martik – Harir Googoosh – Montazer Ramesh – Ghorooba Gashangan Hayedeh – Vaseye Del Baala Shodi Martik – Cheshmaye To Dariush – Sheytanat Zia – Ringo Ramesh – Nagoo Na Ebi – Gol Vijeh Leila Forouhar – Moama Giti – Nazam Kon Shohreh – Setareh Ramesh – Sharme Booseh Shohreh – Dokhtare Mashreghiam Manouchehr – Khat Va Neshoun
