Roqe - Ep #127 - The Percussionists - Hamta Baghi, Nasrine Rahmani

A rhythmic edition of Roqe featuring two rising star Persian percussionists in different parts of the planet. Iranian-Indian musician Hamta Baghi joins Jian from Pune, India, to talk about her love of drums, her move from Iran, and becoming the first Iranian woman who plays Indian beats on the Daf. Then Iranian-Australian conga and Cajon star Nasrine Rahmani chimes in from Madrid, Spain, on growing up enamored of Latin music and percussion, and finding her groove and musical home in Cuba and Spain. Plus the Roqe Team discusses the proper Persian terms for attractive men and women, and Kyan delivers a thirst-quenching new edition of “It’s All Persian To Us”.
