Stories from the East

The NBE is pulling out all the stops for you to offer a unique opportunity, reliving one of the NBE’s most beloved programmes: Stories from the East (formerly Voices from the East). Featuring none other than living legend Mohsen Namjoo, one of Iran’s most controversial contemporary singer-songwriters and hailed by the New York Times as the Bob Dylan of Iran. Storyteller Sahand Sahebdivani brings to life the stories his parents left behind as political refugees in Iran.

Together, in this unique NBE performance about war, flight and hope for a new world, they answer the question: ‘When you flee your homeland, can you pack up your stories and take them with you?’

Enjoy Mohsen & the NBE at home: Order the CD or listen to the album on Spotify!

‘Stories from the East’ replaces the announced show American Roots, which has unfortunately been cancelled in October 2023 due to personal circumstances of guest artist Pura Fé.
