INsou-UNsou

INsou-UNsou band with Babak Taghikhani (pianist/composer) and Solmaz Peymaei (vocalist) as its founders tries to introduce a form of fusion music in which Iranian elements with their pristine characters cohabit with other musical material ranging from Jazz to Indie-rock, introducing and deciphering Iranian sonar dialect to non-Iranian listeners by re-interpreting it to a more appealing form to international audience. In a recent video for a song called Pendaram-Oost, recorded with the assistance of a grant awarded by FACTOR (The Foundation to Assist Canadian Talent on Records) a contemporary dancie choreographed for this particular song shows the capability of INsou music architecture to be supplemented with other forms of visual arts such as dance. INsou project for Tirgan festival will be a mix of Iranian songs (a number of them accompanied by dancers) as well as a few English songs with very unique Iranian renditions of them by the band. INsou-UNsou core band consists of the piano, vocal, tar, sax, bass, drums andpercussion.
