Jansouz Collective

Jansouz collective (2012) is the musical narration from the interpretation of multiculturalism in the performing art and music industries with an innovative approach. In the past years, the Jansouz Collective has been creating & performing interdisciplinary forms in music related to the Iranian Cultural Civilisation. Sepand Dadbeh (artistic director) and Khorshid Dadbeh (lead artist) named their music collective, Jansouz after the artistic name of their grandfather, a renowned maestro in the field of singing and cultural history of Persian music. Through co-operations with international artists and the combination of ancient musicians’ musical self-discipline with a novel understanding of modern time, the collective has enriched it’s artistic visions further. The core of this approach is first and foremost a representation of the archetypal human heroes who become detached from their origins and who would set foot on a challenging path, afflicted by farewell and nostalgia, travelling within and without until eventually, they reach a novel realization of the time and the being.
