Dashti Trio: Music from the Middle East and Beyond
Music from the Middle East and Beyond
Three Middle Eastern musicians bring together songs from their lands of origin. With a mixture of voice, clarinet, flutes, oud, and percussion, they bring the beauty of each individual culture as well as a few refreshing combinations that may never have been tried before. Come and hear avaz with a scent of spices, hijaz with a flourish, and klezmer with a twist.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS:
Faisal Zedan was born in Beirut, Lebanon, and raised in Oum Dbaib, Syria. Through a great love for percussion and years of dedicated study, he has become a master of Arabic percussion instruments including the Derbekki, Dahullah, Riq, and Def (Arabic/Turkish frame drum).
Faisal is currently based in the San Francisco Bay Area, and works regularly as a performer, collaborator and teacher. He has worked with a diverse array of musicians, including: Aieto Moreira, The Gorillaz, Joan Baez, Miriam Peretz, Khaleel Shaheed, Yuval Ron, Salim Sesler, Omar Faruk Taqbilek, Hasan Iskul, Yair Dalal, and Rumen Shopov.
Asaf Ophir began his professional career in musical theaters in Israel, on some of Israel’s most distinguished stages. Having moved to the United States in 2014, Ophir can most often be seen in world music projects on Jewish, Arabic, and Balkan stages. Throughout his career he has shared the stage with artists such as Miri Mesika, Avi Kushnir, Galit Giat, David De’or, Rana Farhan, and Barbara Streisand.
The San Francisco Chronicle writes: “Asaf Ophir gives the clarinet the timbre of a trumpet, then a violin, then a raspy scream… the instrument’s wail almost becomes too plaintive and beautiful to bear.”
Sirvan Manhoobi is a Kurdish Iranian oud and tar player, and composer. He received the Best Soloist award at the Iranian Music Festival in 2006, 2008, and 2009.
After completing his MA in Archaeology from Tehran University, Sirvan moved to the United States and continued his musical career. He established the Bamdad Ensemble, and collaborated with great artists such as Bijan Kamkar, Aziz Shahrokh, Ardeshir Kamkar, and Ismaeel Sabour, as well as the renowned Iranian director Bahram Bezraei in his play “Tarabnameh” (2016).Sirvan is currently studying music at San Francisco State University.
