“Amazing array of sounds . . . selfless joy. . . . You didn’t have to be Persian to feel the tidal pull of the music.”

–Los Angeles Times

Zarbang represents some of the finest percussionists from Iran and Afghanistan. Drawing from Sufi, ancient Persian, and Afghani rhythms, the ensemble weaves a sound that is dynamic and ecstatic on one hand, and meditative and trance inducing on the other. $35, CMA members $33.
