FRESH NEW SOUND CREATED FROM VARIOUS BACKGROUNDS

Nibiru is a new duo from Groningen comprising singer Sanam Tahmasebi, originally from Iran, and Groningen oed musician Jelte Fossen (oeds are pear-shaped string instruments widely used in Middle Eastern music). Their different musical backgrounds are clearly reflected in their beautiful compositions, effortlessly combining elements from Persian music with contemporary jazz. Head for De Westerkerk this Sunday afternoon to enjoy Nibiru's fresh sound, featuring song lines that will leave you drifting, expressive vocal licks, oed riffs and tingling melodies.
