company description

Zohreh Jooya grew up in eastern Iran, in a mixed Afghan Iranian family. Already as a child she sung Indian, Afghan and Iranian songs. After graduation at the University of Music in Vienna she pursues traditional music from Afghanistan and Iran. Together with Sobeir Bachtiar, a master on the robab, she founded the "Ensemble Afghan" and also cooperates with the "Ensemble Kabul".

At her newest project "Dialogue of Cultures" she cooperates with the "Ensemble Aasmaan" from Calcutta. She presents traditional Indian, Iranian and Afghan music. The Persian side is covered by the master kamancheh and tar player Athar Torabi and the Afghan soloist Sobeir Bachtiar.

At her concerts she always gives an insight into the culture. If required she has local actors reciting the poetry the lyrics are based on in the local language. Samples of her music you will find at www.zohreh-jooya.org.

Her CDs are published with ARC in the UK and Taraneh International a Persian label in California.
