Rastak

Presented by Small World Music 

In partnership with Digital Zone Canada 

Join us for an evening of musical fusion and cultural celebration, as Rastak continues to captivate audiences worldwide.

We are thrilled to have Rastak bringing their unique blend of contemporary Iranian folk music to the stage. Known for their dynamic performances and cultural richness, Rastak promises an unforgettable experience, featuring traditional instruments and soulful melodies that transcend borders.

One of the most well-known bands in Iranian contemporary folk music, Rastak was formed as an experimental music group in 1997. The group seeks to collect, record, and interpret Iranian folk music for a global audience. Rastak incorporates language, culture, and history, merging traditional instruments and forms with contemporary rhythms. Rastak is working to shorten the generational gap and create a geographical bridge in the music of Iran.

The 2024 Small World Music Series is sponsored by TD Bank Group through the TD Ready Commitment and funded by the Government of Canada, Canada Council for the Arts, Ontario Arts Council, and the City of Toronto through the Toronto Arts Council.
