Journey to the musical heartland where ancient traditions restore modern souls.
Experience the power and beauty of traditional music from the borderlands of Iran and Afghanistan as Badieh brings to life the rich and rarely heard folk music traditions of Greater Khorasan.
This deeply immersive and transportive experience combines traditional instruments with centuries-old melodies, creating a sonic journey that's both meditative and emotionally powerful, a perfect antidote to modern life.
What sets Michel Gasco and Mohammad Miraghazadeh’s performance apart is Badieh's rare authenticity and attention to cultural detail. This is a respectful, meticulously researched revival of a fading oral tradition, performed with cinematic sensitivity and contemporary resonance.
Critics have awarded their albums five stars, noting how ‘each piece crackles with fresh intensity’ and creates something ‘that feels ancient as much as eternal’.
Whether you're culturally connected to the region, drawn to world traditions, or simply seeking the connection through immersive musical experiences, Badieh offers a timeless, vital, and deeply human passageway for all to an ancient musical world.
Discover how centuries of musical wisdom can refresh your modern spirit with Badieh.
