Save the date: Saturday, March 30, Mitra Sumara performs at Le Poisson Rouge, 158 Bleecker St., New York, as part of the seventh annual Persian New Year Celebration. Also on the bill will be Rana Farhan, playing Persian jazz and blues, and Vatan, who will play Persian country music. Mitra Sumara will bring its own strong blend of Persian psychedelic funk from pre-revolutionary Iran -- Persian pop from the 1960s and '70s.
The event starts at 6:30 p.m., and Mitra Sumara will take the stage at 8:30.
This will be a rocking way to ring in Nowrooz. Tickets are $17 in advance and $20 at the door. So act now, and we'll see you then!
