Projekt Beschreibung
Golnar Shahyar is an Iranian-Canadian vocalist, composer, and multi-instrumentalist known for blending jazz, folk, and experimental music with traditions from West Asia, North Africa, and the Americas. Through projects like Sehrang, Gabbeh, Golnar & Mahan, and her solo work, she has become a defining voice in Europe’s contemporary music scene. Her latest album, Tear Drop (nominated for the German Jazz Award 2023) was praised as “a boundary-pushing, genre-defying masterpiece of emotional depth and sonic innovation.” Deeply engaged in activism, she weaves themes of migration, identity, and resilience into her genre-crossing work.
