Arash Sasan’s music is a captivating blend of expressive, oriental-influenced singing and Flamenco-inspired guitar compositions. His dynamic performances draw from his Iranian roots and love for Spanish guitar, resulting in a unique fusion of Persian language and Spanish harmonies. Based in Munich, Sasan showcases his versatile musicality by setting classical Persian poetry to music, weaving his own stories of love and loss into his performances.
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.
