Unveiling the Harmonies: Yalda Yazdani's Journey Through Middle Eastern Music
🎧 Join us for an incredible episode featuring Yalda Yazdani, an Iranian-born ethnomusicologist and curator. Yalda's passion for music and bridging cultural gaps has led her to organize projects and festivals that connect European and Middle-Eastern musicians and artists. Furthermore, you have to watch the documentaries from CrossGeneration Media (www.zeitgenoessische-oper.de) that she has produced together with Andreas Rochholl and Sebastian Leitner, “Female voices of Iran”, “Life after Life” and “Female voice of Afghanistan”.
In this episode, Yalda shares her journey of perseverance, from studying the Tar as a woman to conducting research on nomadic women in music. Discover the fascinating rituals and traditions she uncovers, including the enchanting practice of singing wedding songs to a tree to encourage fruit-bearing. Yalda also delves into the challenges faced by women in Middle Eastern countries yet also shows the strength and resilience of women in Iran, Afghanistan, and beyond, as they fight for their rights and express themselves through music. Tune in to explore the politics of musical performance, the impact of censorship, and the strength of women in Iran, Afghanistan, and beyond.
