Mamak Khadem

The poet Rumi referred to “the place where everything is music.” Mamak Khadem, a classically trained Persian singer who has studied her art in both Iran and her adopted United States, helps keep that place in Iranian culture alive, vital, and growing. A lead singer of the cross-cultural fusion ensemble Axiom Of Choice and vibrant solo artist, Mamak Khadem has performed at major concert venues, including the Skirball Cultural Center, the Greek Theater, the Smithsonian Museum, and at festivals worldwide. In her recent album Jostojoo (Forever Seeking), Mamak Khadem continues her exploration of Persian poetry set to carefully chosen melodies from her culture’s far-reaching folk and classical repertoire.
