Makan Ashgvari

Makan Ashgvari’s music ranges from heavy-hearted blues and jazz standards to cosmic folk. With his unusual voice, he switches with melodic abandon between Persian/English texts to speechless improvisation. Deep, authentically introspective and softly coveting, Ashgvari reminds one of the greats of his guild such as Bon Iver or Joni Mitchell.
