About this event
Her international stage credits include the Bill Gates Goalkeepers 2024 event with Jon Batiste, WOMEX, GlobalFest, Pitchfork Music Festival, Le Guess Who?, United Nations Headquarters, Into the Great Wide Open, Secret Planet/APAP, Ragas Live Festival, Montana Folk Festival, Crossing Border, Mutations, and many more. She is featured on Jon Batiste’s Grammy-nominated “World Music Radio” album and appears on Livaneli’s album “Rumi Suite.” Through her performances and compositions, Rastegari is bringing the Kamancheh to places and in new directions and in new musical settings and she continues to show how Persian musical heritage can speak in unexpected ways—alive, rhythmic, and full of possibility. In 2025, Mehrnam released ‘Dislocated Pulse’, her full-length psych rock, Middle Eastern album built around electrified Kamancheh, heavy grooves, and restless, shifting microtonal motifs.
