Mamak Khadem

  • SAMA Session (Online) Los Angeles USA (map)

Mamak Khadem has walked many roads in her remarkable life, from her childhood and youth in Tehran at a critical time in Iranian history, and her longtime work as an educator, to her acclaimed career as a singer, composer, and devoted advocate for cultural diversity, appreciation of Persian cultural traditions, and human rights.

Called "one of the wonders of world trance music" by the Los Angeles Times, she has stunned audiences with her striking blend of classical Persian style with diverse contemporary influences, her exceptional vocal mastery, and her unforgettable voice. All are resplendent on her new album Remembrance --her debut on the Six Degrees Records label -- which also features guest appearances by singer and pianist Chris Martin (of Coldplay) and the venerable Rumi scholar and translator Coleman Barks.
