The Immigrant’s Heartbeat

November 5, 2024 - 7:30pm

The Annex, Vancouver

Duration: 10 min

This event is an opening music for the "Katha - Keertana Chronicles"

Tombak and Daf: Babak Borna

Description

In this percussion performance, the artist explores the journey of a migrant through rhythm, portraying the pressures, constraints, and restrictions that stifle them, leading to their decision to embark on a perilous journey and ultimately find liberation. 

The unique challenge of this performance lies in the artist's storytelling, conveying the protagonist's emotional journey solely through rhythms and sounds from the percussion instrument, without using melodic instruments.

Babak has garnered acclaim for winning Best Performance at various international festivals and events. His achievements include recognition from the Moscow Conservatory of Music and Iran's thirteenth Fajr Music Festival.
