Nexus Live Presents Kamand by Maryam Rahmani

23 August 2025 7:00PM Nexus Arts Venue, Corner North Tce & Morphett St, Adelaide, SA, Australia. A$32.14

Nexus Live is proud to present the launch of Kamand, Maryam Rahmani's debut album launch!

 

Join Iranian-born musician Maryam Rahmani as she launches her debut album Kamand, a powerful collection of improvised pieces that blend the beauty of Iranian classical music with new sounds and rhythms. Rooted in ancient Persian modes, Kamand reflects Maryam's evolving musical identity - one shaped by movement, memory, and the delicate pull between tradition and transformation.

 

Recorded on Kaurna and Wurundjeri Woiwurrung Country and released through Music In Exile, the album brings together a rich group of collaborators: David moran (cello), Sebastian Collen (paino and electronics), Gustavo Quintino (double bass), and Rosalie Cocchiaro (Flamenco rhythm). Each track is a dialogue - spontaneous, layered, and grounded in deep listening across cultures.

 

Kamand - meaning 'Lasso' in Persian - evokes the act of reaching out and drawing in: sounds, influences, and stories. From the poetic meters of Iranian music to flamenco footwork and experimental textures, this album captures a musician in motion - weaving connections across musical worlds.

 

Experience the launch of Kamand - an evening of resonance, rhythm, and musical conversation.
