Nowruz/Nawruz is around the corner, and we would love to invite you to our New Year get-together at @murmur.ams . 🌱 Our region, to put it mildly, is under immense pressure, and the impact of these events is felt strongly here in the diaspora. This gathering is a simple space for us to be together across borders and distances, to acknowledge what is happening in our communities and our region, and to take a moment to breathe. It might feel strange to celebrate Nowruz in such a time, but we believe that coming together in solidarity, connecting, and being present with one another is itself a form of resistance. Together with diaspora friends from diverse backgrounds, we will fill the day with music and sounds that transcend borders, including Iran, Kurdistan, Afghanistan, Turkey, Lebanon, Armenia, and beyond. Food will be organised by Farhad & Rojin, featuring Kabab Koobideh (on the BBQ) and ash-e-reshte (traditional vega soup). Everyone is welcome at this event, whether or not you personally celebrate Nowruz. Tickets are €10 and are available online (link in bio or via website murmur).

I got invited by @murmur.ams at @kiosk.radio for their Outsiders show, to do my my very first early morning radio show ever. Two hours of music to get you up, with songs I never really had the chance to play before. A big thanks to the Kiosk team for highlighting the mix in their staff picks - really appreciate it! I started the show with audio (slide 3) from a scene in Abbas Kiarostami’s film The Wind Will Carry Us, where the actor Roushan Karam Elmi gets his morning milk from a farmer. Enjoy! Link in bio.

This March, for Nowruz, I recorded a mix for @adaptorrecords -a label and collective based in Tehran. Thanks for the invite, hope to meet soon❤️ Link in bio.

Spring is around the corner 🌱, and we would love to invite you to celebrate the new year—Nowroz/Nawruz—with us. We look forward to bringing our communities together to welcome a new year, embrace the arrival of spring, and nourish our souls by celebrating our cultures in each other’s company. Join us for music and lovely food by the sisters Mahsa & Maral at @murmur.ams on Saturday the 22nd of March. Tickets available online now in our bios, and everyone is welcome! @wearechamos @hanibalr @kouroshgram @kalamimahsa @nilabaahmadi @safamirror @sarkawthamad @sezinci @dj_shahmaran

𝐀𝐥𝐩𝐡𝐚𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐅𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐡: 𝐇𝐚𝐧𝐢 𝐑𝐚𝐡𝐬𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫 Hani Rahsepar is oprichter van Diaspora Radio. Hij werd geboren in Iran en woont sinds zijn vierde in Nederland. Hani: “Ook al was ik heel klein toen we Iran verlieten, het heeft een enorme impact gehad. Misschien dat ik daarom uit een soort verdedigingsmechanisme nooit helemaal durf te wortelen.” […] “Ik heb heel erg geleerd mij aan te passen aan mijn omgeving. Of ik nu bij de jongens op de hoek van de straat sta of met allemaal witte, elitaire mensen ben, ik kan al die rollen aannemen. Daardoor vraag ik me wel eens af: wie ben ik nou echt? Dat gevecht is er constant.” Lees het hele interview op onze website: pany/nooit-helemaal-geworteld 📷 Afagh Morrowatian #AlphabetsOfFlesh #diaspora #thuis #home #interview #portret #rover
