Mohsen Namjoo Solo with Screening of Minoor: The "Iranian Bob Dylan" Mohsen Namjoo is an internationally acclaimed Iranian singer-songwriter, musician, and scholar, often described as the "Bob Dylan of Iran."
Known for his visionary and distinctive style, Namjoo seamlessly fuses classical Persian poetry (from masters like Hafez and Rumi) and traditional Persian music (playing the setar, a traditional lute) with contemporary Western genres like rock, blues, and jazz. His work is celebrated for its poetic depth, vocal prowess, and willingness to blend ancient and modern forms, making him a powerful voice for a new generation.
Based in the United States since 2009, Namjoo continues to tour the world, performing his unique blend of protest and tradition to sold-out venues and captivating global audiences.
