Dornob

Persian music in the spirit of Jazz

About Me

We're a collective of musicians - now spanning two generations - who've been playing Persian music in San Diego since 1985. Our goal, in addition to friendship, crossing cultural bridges, learning the music, and having fun playing music, is to make Persian music accessible to young and non-Persian audiences.
