“Iranian Student Alliance in America – ISAA” in partnership with “Berkeley Lecture Series” Present:
A Talk by Mohsen Namjoo, The Sensational Iranian Singer, Songwriter
Topic: "Classical Persian Music and Despotism"
“Mohsen Namjoo plays the setar, a traditional Persian lute, and is a master of classical Persian literature and poetry. But the sounds he draws from the instrument, along with his deep voice and his playful but subtly cutting lyrics about growing up in an Islamic state, have made Mohsen Namjoo the most controversial, and certainly the most daring, figure in Persian music today.” New York Times http://www.nytimes.com/2007/
