It’s a fusion that has never been done before. I dream to collaborate with artists like, Jay Z, Beyonce, Madonna, Kanye West, Pharrel, Hans Zimmer, Yani, and Keyhan Kalhor and so many others”.
During the concert, Farzam will unveil a multiplicity of unique sounds, beats and compositions created by a complex fusion of musical instruments from Iran with those of North American, producing an explosive new sound.

“Farzam Salami has brought a new sound to America’s pop culture. A captivating sound of hot beats played on “Tombak” drum mixed with the ancient sound of “Tar”, beautifully accompanied by his classic versatile style of piano. I am thrilled to be part of this historical event of an Iranian star crossing cultures here in America”, says Kadesh.
Salami will also perform “Utopia of Peace”, a song written and composed for President Obama and the people of America in the hope of peace. The song made its way to the White House and caused outrage within the Iranian Government, banning Salami from ever returning to his native country again.
“I believe it was fate that landed my feet here in America and no matter where I go in life; I know that music is the universal language. Music is an expression so powerful that it can unite nations”, says Salami.
