Gelareh Pour's Garden
Iran / Australia
Ethnomusicologist Gelareh Pour is a respected composer, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist; a master of Persian instruments including the Kamancheh (spiked fiddle) and Qeychak Alto (bowed lute). Her latest group, Garden, draws on her experience of living and creating music in two very different cultures. It is a unique, contemporary Iranian-Australian fusion of world, avant-garde, indie post-rock and ambient, sung in Farsi.
