Together with his talented band, Arash Sasan delves into an eclectic mix of influences ranging from the Caucasus to the Persian Gulf, alongside Mediterranean sounds as well as jazzy elements and rhythmic flair. Occasionally, Sasan delves into folklore, such as the tale of the bride “Sari Gelin” who takes her own life on her wedding night, sung from the perspective of the young man she had chosen. Arash Sasan skillfully portrays these stories with depth and drama, avoiding kitsch. In the next song, rhythm and a zest for life take center stage once again.
The group’s collaborative energy shines through in their intricate arrangements and spirited improvisations, creating a vibrant musical tapestry that captivates audiences.
Arash Sasan has cultivated a deep musical connection in Munich, where he has collaborated with a group of exceptional musicians for several years. The ensemble includes award-winning pianist Josef Reßle, renowned drummer and framedrum player Stefan Noelle, and talented Venezuelan double bassist Wilbert Pepper, who draws from the rich heritage of Venezuelan youth orchestras. Each member brings a wealth of individual perspective and expertise to the table, resulting in a compelling and emotionally resonant musical experience that goes beyond cultural boundaries and leaves a profound impact on the audience.
