Mehrnam Rastegari

Iranian master kamancheh player Mehrnam Rastegari debuts her newest project, Chogan, at Joe’s Pub in NYC on April 10th. Chogan is a quartet consisting of Sam Minaei (upright bass), Philip Mayer (drums), Amit Peled (guitar), and Rastegari on kamancheh, the Persian spiked fiddle. Chogan was created to play both Rastegari’s original material and rearranged folk songs with a fusion/Middle Eastern vibe.
