**Markus Hamence** speaks with the brilliant music artist **Maryam Rahmani **on the launch of her debut album **Kamand**, which launches at **Nexus Live** on Friday 22 August 2025.

Join Iranian born musician Maryam Rahmani as she launches her debut album *Kamand*, a powerful collection of improvised pieces that blend the beauty of Iranian classical music with new sounds and rhythms. Rooted in ancient Persian modes, *Kamand* reflects Maryam’s evolving musical identity – one shaped by movement, memory, and the delicate pull between tradition and transformation.

Recorded on Kaurna and Wurrundjeri Woiwurrung Country and released through Music in Exile, the album brings together a rich group of collaborators: David Moran (Cello), Sebastian Collen (Piano and Electronics), Gustavo Quintino (Double Bass), and Rosalie Cocchiaro (Flamenco Rhythm). Each track is a dialogue – spontaneous, layered, and grounded in deep listening across cultures.

*Kamand* – meaning ‘Lasso’ in Persian – evokes the act of reaching out and drawing in: sounds, influences, and stories. From the poetic meters of Iranian music to flamenco footwork and experimental textures, this album captures a musician in motion – weaving connections across musical worlds.

Experience the launch of *Kamand* – an evening of resonance, rhythm, and musical conversation.
