An evening of traditional Persian music and Middle Eastern Electronica Dance Party....



Using the rich Persian classical Music Tradition to generate a musically rich tapestry, Som'ma continues to explore the realms of electronica, dub and the Persian dastgah, with an intelligence of spirit where the ancient and modern can converse. Traditional Persian instruments and digital technology meet at the crossroads of Sufism and the modern age.
