Like Ethiopia and Afghanistan, Iran had a vibrant popular music scene in the 60s and 70s that was snuffed out by political and social upheaval. The band Mitra Sumara revisits the sounds of pre-revolutionary Iran - blending Iranian traditional melody and rhythm with with rock, soul, pop, and more. Mitra Sumara may look to the past, but the band is also a player in the very of-the-moment funky-big-band movement in NY: Hot on the heels of tonight's NJ radio debut, the 9-piece juggernaut joins scene-mates CSC Funk Band and People's Champs for a big show - June 10th at Brooklyn Bowl.

The Selda cds are available if you google around (try also "Selda Bagcan")... Mitra Sumara, the band your hearing in-studio now, does not have a cd yet - they're recording this summer. |
