His style you say?
by Anonymous2222 (not verified) on Tue Jul 22, 2008 02:21 PM PDTHe doesn't really have any style. One minute the tune sounds like it is in a specific dastgah and then the tune turns into pop, then again you hear him make totally sensless sounds. Other times it is a straight Latin music with Persian words of famous poets. To be fair I would call his style 'Man darAvardi'.
So

Best wishes of success

my 2 cents
by Erfan (not verified) on Mon Jul 21, 2008 09:32 PM PDTim actually a fan of his music, my favorite being "Toranj" so i wish him the best. but i have to keep it real, and he doesnt have that many good songs. a few of them are good, but i agree were blowing up a lil too much with the titles. regardless, if he comes around, ill got to the show to support.

by javaneh29 on Mon Jul 21, 2008 02:39 PM PDTThen listen again and open your mind ..... he has a flavour of both east and west. I like some tracks more than others and I dont know about comparisons with Bob Dylan who Im not a great fan of but I like Namjoo.

Namjoo grows on you
by javaneh29 on Mon Jul 21, 2008 01:53 PM PDTWhen I first heard his music a few months ago , I didnt like it. The more I heard it, the more I appreciated his uniqueness. As I said earlier .. im so jelous he is going to the states and not coming to the UK.
Perhaps it is a good reason for a visit... I will think on that

I'm not a struggling
by Anonymous2222 (not verified) on Mon Jul 21, 2008 01:52 PM PDTI'm not a struggling musician but I am familiar with and proud of our traditional Persian music so titles like "Iran's Bob Dylan" do tic me off. I don't think Mr. Namjoo's music has any roots, neither Persian nor Western.
Hopefully he'll go on
by Abarmard on Mon Jul 21, 2008 01:32 PM PDTHe has something and most of us recognize it. Yet I hope that this something becomes mature and establishes itself to something great. I like his personality and a few of his songs. Hope he keeps going with the idea.

Who cares?
by Anonymous2222 (not verified) on Mon Jul 21, 2008 10:10 AM PDTI don't know what people like about his music, it's like shotor morgh, neither shotor nor morgh! He is a below average Setar player, most times using existing tunes that took much work from others to create.

جناب نامجو موفق باشید.

That's great. I hope he
by azadi55 (not verified) on Sun Jul 20, 2008 10:10 PM PDTThat's great. I hope he comes to Canada too.
Can not wait
by Amir-ofs-ki on Sun Jul 20, 2008 07:54 PM PDTThank you "beyondpersia" for working on bringing him here to US.
Does this mean that he already has his visa?
