Swedish Iranian band, Abjeez Unplugged, will present in solidarity their own original brand of Persian world pop.

This event is based on the project Words, Movement, and Colour: Remembering and Learning Through the Arts, coordinated by Shahrzad Mojab and Bethany J. Osborne

Abjeez Unplugged

Persian slang for sister...and that’s just what they are - Safoura and Melody Safavi.

Backed by guitarist Lars Johan Moberg the two Abjee’s present their own original band of Persian world pop!

Their lyrics, often humorous and sometimes rebellious, are written in Farsi, but the expressive groove of the music and the abjees’ dramatic
delivery break down all language barriers to create a new synthesis of cultures.
