Today, this throwback brings us an incredible video from Tehran in 1988. In the clip you will see Bahari - one of the most legendary kamanche players of Iran. He played a major role in preserving and promoting the instrument in the 20th century and remains a reference point for musicians today.

Alongside him is Ali Rostamian, a prominent Iranian vocalist who will be coming to Labyrinth Ontario this minth! In just two weeks, Rostamian brings decades of experience and knowledge to Makam Nights.

We welcome you to come learn from Rostamian, and his prolific career:

Labyrinth Ontario is honoured to welcome Ali Rostamian to our monthly series at the Tranzac. Geared towards community building and conversation, this will be a masterful duet with Labyrinth Ensemble member Soheil Sadeghi!

Rostamian is a prominent Iranian vocalist with recordings such as Chaharbagh (1985) and Konj-e Sabouri (1999), working with some of Iran’s most legendary musicians such as Faramarz Payvar, Jalil Shahnaz, and Parviz Meshkatian to name a few.

This esteemed duo brings decades of experience each worldwide. We look forward to hearing them perform together!

14 dedicated musicians performing with Sami Abu Shumays after a full week of intensive training!

Focused on the iconic longform works of Egyptian vocalist Umm Kulthum, the Music Group presented two hour-long songs: Ansaak and Awidti Eini.

We applaud these musicians for the hours and hours of work that went into this! They truly embodied the community and cultural exchange of the Toronto Makam Music Forum.
