Konsert med Rastak

Since 1997, Rastak has worked to bring Iranian folk music to the forefront through refined and thoughtfully crafted arrangements. Rooted in traditional melodies, languages, and instruments, they draw material from diverse regions of Iran and shape it into a unified, contemporary expression.

Through extensive fieldwork, the ensemble has sought out original sources and collaborated closely with local tradition bearers. This has given them a deep understanding of regional styles—both musically and culturally.

Engaging with this diversity, Rastak has developed a clear and intentional stage expression, where traditional sounds and rhythms are placed in new contexts without losing their grounding. The result is music firmly rooted in tradition, yet resonating with audiences far beyond its cultural origins.
