I am excited to let you know of a great upcoming event in the San Francisco Bay Area. On Saturday, October 23, 2010, Iranian.com will present a fantastic performance by the Saeid Shanbehzadeh Ensemble at San Francisco’s Herbst Theater. Saeid Shanbehzadeh presents his pretty unique brand of Southern Iran Boushehri music, a music of rhythm and color which is bold, exciting, and delightful. He is accompanied by his son, Naghib, and Habib Meftah Boushehri on percussion. People outside California have had a chance to see Saeid and his ensemble perform over the past several years. We will be lucky this Fall to see him take his wonderful music on his first US Tour.
If you live in this area, please mark your calendars for Saturday, October 23, 2010 at 7:00 p.m. for what promises to be a fantastic performance. (There are other delightful surprises in store for that night. Stay tuned!)
If you don’t live in this area, won’t you consider joining us for an Iranian.com gathering around the concert? If you are interested in making the trip, the fabulous Iranian.com volunteers of Northern California will look into getting a reasonable rate on rooms, etc. Let us know!
I leave you with a few clips of a Saeid Shanbehzadeh Ensemble performances at the Louvre Museum in Paris and at the Orient Festival in Munich. Habib Meftah Boushehri and Naghib Shanbehzadeh play the percussion. I hope you enjoy their music and very exciting visual presentation. Please plan to come to the concert if you can! We will be along with more information and announcements soon!

Last night, Shanbehzadeh's concert was great. Thanks JJ, Nazy
by Anahid Hojjati on Sun Oct 24, 2010 11:37 AM PDTSo last night I made it to the concert. It was great to see IC friends and
listen to good music. I truly enjoyed "Shanbehzadeh" 's performance. Very nostalgic for me to hear southern music and see southern dancing. The percussionists were great. I am always impressed with good percussionists and Naghib Shanbehzadeh, and Habib Meftah Boushehri were fantastic on percussion. Thanks Nazy, Jahanshah and all other IC friends who helped with the concert. I recommend it to all IC readers in LA area to go to this concert.
Souri jan, thanks, lunch or dinner it is
by Anahid Hojjati on Mon Sep 13, 2010 05:46 PM PDTYes, as the concert date gets closer, we will arrange for this. It will be fun.
Oh sorry Anahid jon...
by Souri on Mon Sep 13, 2010 05:26 PM PDTHow come I missed your comment here? I'm so sorry, I really didn't see it!
Sure, it will be fun to meet and chat during a lunch or dinner
w/o J khan bad-akhlagh :)
This is a wonderful idea.
Let go for it!

سوری خانوم، بابام که گرفتاره ولی بابا بزرگم گفته میاد منو از ورودی رد میکنه بعد خودش میره دنبال فسق و فجور!
Majid Jan,
by Nazy Kaviani on Mon Sep 13, 2010 04:43 PM PDTWhat great news! Come on Friday! I'm sure we can find you and Mrs. Majid a decent mosaferkhooneh in the big City! I'll be along with an email!
Souri Jan,
We will have name tags at the concert! I think people will recognize you from your avatar. I have a feeling recognizing Majid would not be too hard, either!
This is so exciting!
That would be great!
by Souri on Mon Sep 13, 2010 04:37 PM PDTMajid agha;
I don't know if children are allowed to that event! We should ask Nazy!!
I think you must bring your actual ID Cards to prove you have grown up since you took that picture!
Nazy jon,
It will an immense pleasure for me to meet other IC friends there....
But how would I recognize everybody?
I suggest everybody should have their IC name written en their forehead!!
What you think? Isn't it a good idea?
آقا منم بازی....

منم اگه بتونم بلیط مینی بوس گیر بیارم شاید یه روز زودتر اومدم که «جمعه زاده» رو هم ببینم، اگه شد یه جوری خبر میدم که تو یه مسافرخونه اون دور و ورا یه تخت هم واسه من گیر بیارین.
راستی باید بُقچهء رختخواب پیچ خودمون بیاریم یا مسافرخونه های اونجا متکا و پتو و کوزه آب میدن؟
Come one, come all!
by Nazy Kaviani on Mon Sep 13, 2010 04:09 PM PDTSouri Jan, that's excellent news! I can't wait!
I'm sure Anahid and other Iranian.com contributors in the Bay Area will be equally happy to see you! We will have a good time I am sure! Let's email about the details. Fantastic!
Thanks Nazy jan for the info, sounds very interesting
by Anahid Hojjati on Mon Sep 13, 2010 01:09 PM PDTThis concert with music from South of Iran sounds very interesting and then to see IC friends that I have never met in person, this is great. Souri jan, let's have another get together besides the concert since during concert, we have to be quiet or JJ will throw us out. Few of us like to have Turkish food in San Francisco. Maybe we can all arrange for that.
Wow!!!! I will be there Nazy jon
by Souri on Mon Sep 13, 2010 10:25 AM PDTCount me for one!
It's big time to attend in one of those great event of the IC!! Especially that I like Shanbezadeh's works so much.
This will be a great opportunity for me to know some of the IC friends in person. I am so excited about that.
Please do consider me among the "foreigners" :) who will need the accommodation (with a good rate :)). Of course I will arrive one day earlier, means October 22.
Thank you so much for being so great!
Iranian.com owe you big and we all love you big!!
